so, yesterday i dislocated my shoulder, landed right on the fuckin thing. went to the doc to get it popped back in since i didnt know how to pop it in cuz it was the first time it happened (plus i was scarred  i might have torn something cuz it looked fucked up). anyways they tell me its dislocated and my AC ligament is all stretched and damaged and shit. sucks and painful. since im sure alot of shredders on ns have had this similar injury happen to them. how long were you out for skiing? im hoping one week tops.

same, kinda. I dislocated mine in soccer but it popped itslef back in after like 10 seconds. But it had already screwed up my ligaments in my shoulder. I couldnt put any pressure on my shoulder for about 6 months.

Like I say in every shoulder thread,
LET IT HEAL PROPERLY!!! It will feel better wayy before it starts to actually heal. Don't stretch it, just let it heal. If you go out too soon it's going to pop out again and again and again and then you are looking at real pain in the ass. Ask your doctor about exercises to do to strengthen everything. Just searcbar dislocated shoulder and read some of the stories and the shit people have had to go through from not letting it heal correctly and I can assure you you will be careful!
Good luck!

Alright, I dislocated mine, and I was very lucky because my shoulders have been extremely flexible for my whole life. It popped back in on its own about 5 minutes after I did it. Went to the hospital, and I didn't break or tear anything. 2 days ago I went to see a physiotherapist and I've been given a bunch of exercises to do and basically told its going to be another 3 weeks. That will be 5 weeks since I actually did it, and I was lucky. Take it easy and get in to see a physiotherapist. Fix it up or you will regret it for the rest of your life.

i dislocated mine falling wrong onto a rail. I saw an edit a while ago where a guy just punched the ground really hard and it popped back in. Well i did that and i think it got OK. i asked my aunt who is a doctor to check it out and she asked if I had even dislocated it. It hurt for about 2 weeks. Maybe i didnt even dislocate it so take whatever i say with a grain of salt

Be suuuper careful with shoulders man. I dislocated mine last fall, let it rest for a few weeks and tried to ignore it. I ended up dislocating it 3 more times and needed surgery. Didn't have much of an arm for 6 months. Shoulders are not something you want to fuck around with. It's a super complicated joint and  surgery on it is NOT fun. Fucking miserable actually. Did you get an MRI?

you should get into physical therapy. you can build up muscles around the damaged tendons/ligaments to protect them from any future injuries

hey
concerning your shoulder injury, one week off is definitely not enough ! Take it from someone that works in the field and had a couple of injury himself, two weeks in minimum, and the following weeks should be spend reeducating it and making it stronger. The longer and better you take care of your injury the better, you might find it hard to stay of the slopes, but you can take this has an opportunity to do stuff you dont have time to do or hit the gym and legs and core excercise.

I separated my shoulder in 1986, reinjured it in 1987.  It still hurts today.

you go to ns for medical advice? lol but seriously don't jump the gun and go when its not all the way healed or you'll probably fuck it up worse than before.

Yeah...basically what I'm saying is LET IT HEAL.  No point in making it a life-long issue.

yeah rest is definitely the key, but you not stop there, and make sure you do some strengthening exercise while it starts feeling a bit better, if you shoulder is popping out its socket, you probably already a muscle imbalance that you should try to correct. Hope its healing well:)

Yeah, make sure you definitely go see an orthopedic surgeon. I fell hard 2 years ago after catching my down hill edge while stopping (silly eh?) and f*** up my shoulder. I thought I had just strained something and tried to ignore it but two weeks later while getting out of my truck and reaching for a gear bag, I felt something pop & a shitload o' pain. Went to the ER and they said it was nothing (no xrays either) but recommended I follow up with a ortho. md. Sure enough after an xray and a follow up mri, I had fractured my humerus right where it sits in the shoulder joint.

Long story short: definitely follow up on any shoulder injuries.
