im not really sure what recovery or anything for that is like. i separated mine but it was when i destroyed my collarbone so its the least of my worries right now. just be stoked you didnt break your collarbone, im betting you will be back really quick!

dude take it easy for sure. dont go try to throw down before you can. its super easy to fuck something up and be out for way longer than you would have, thats the best advice i have for you

i know this isn't what you want to hear and you probably know it already but I'll just say it anyway,
you need to let it heal correctly or you are going to fuck yourself up. Look at the big picture, either sit out for a few weeks or at least take it very easy OR fuck yourself up and not be able to move your arm for a month.

It's a mistake to even start throwing stuff at the 2 week mark.  2 days? Don't be an idiot.

uhhh dude do you know the degree that you separated it? mine was 3rd degree aka you can see your clavicle popping out of your shoulder. Anyways I was out for a good hmmm 3 months before I started to get any kind of mobility back (moving it around, swinging a golf club, painfully). I'm still not even full strength in my shoulder and it's been 9 months.

I think i might have done the same thing. Yesterday i went to go spin onto a box, and slid out and landed like crushing my arm, and i felt my shoulder pop out, and then pop back in, does this mean i separated my shoulder?

sounds more like a sub-lux of your shoulder. its when it dislocates partially and then goes back in straight away. Does it hurt now? I imagine you've torn the ligaments slightly so will be pretty painful but will heal. just bear in mind that your shoulder is now weaker so a full dislocation is slightly more likely than before.

I think i did the same thing. It was on my way to the lift line and i was messing around on a little roller and caught my edge and slammed onto my arm. I couldnt even move my shoulder when it happened (two days ago) but now its feeling a little better. Like i can move it pretty good just when i try to lift stuff or move it in akward positions it hurts. Should i get this checked out? Or just take it easy? Kinda mad i cant hand drag 3 anymore and i just learned them

I first separated my should 7 years ago racing bmx.
At the time I was big into the sport and was at a huge race, so I just popped it back in and did a couple more races that day.

Ever since then I think it's popped out +/- 15 times because I pushed it and didn't let it heal. Just a couple weeks ago it came out trying to open the door on my refrigerator. Shoulders are not something to be fucked with. I now need to undergo a costly surgery that's going to put my out of doing much of anything for at least three months.

when you separate a shoulder it doesnt pop anything in or out. It tears the ligaments in your AC joint and then your collarbone heals back to normal with a little step-off between that and your shoulder. If your shoulder pops in and out its a dislocation, not a separation. A dislocation is where your humerus (upper arm bone with a ball on the end of it) pops out of the socket

similar words, entirely different injuries

Well regardless of the definition, I've done them both. Because I'm scheduled for ligament repair and reconstruction in May.

im gonna clear up any misconceptions. Shoulder dislocation = comes out of socket and pops back in, sometimes doesnt. Shoulder separation = Clavicle which tears out and pokes up aka end of collar bone. I hate when i tell people my shoulder is separated and they say oh ya i have that too my shoulder came right out one time NO! that's not what a separated shoulder is. Google separated shoulder and then google dislocated shoulder IN IMAGES and you'll see the difference between the two. If you think you can ski only a couple days later and havent even seen a doctor you may have strained your rotator cuff or subluxed your shoulder. OR you may have had a 1st degree separation where you clavicle pops but is still attached and hasnt popped passed your cuff. You should go and see an actual doctor to see whats actually going on with your shit. If it's just a strained rotator cuff take a week- week and a half off and ice it and get it massaged. if it's subluxed just chill until you can move it fine again. if it's stage 1 separation do what the doctor says cause your don't want to fuck with separations. Take time off don't be eager + vibes, take it easy and have a good season.

yeah, I just sublux dislocated my shoulder on Saturday when I caught an edge doing about 45 after landing my 180 on the 70 foot stepover. I munched 8 ibprofins and was skiing by the end of the day but had zero mobility in my arm. I'm kind of worried now because I can't even come close to lifting my arm in any direction as of right now. I'm glad I saved all my vicodin from getting my wisdom teeth pulled.
