Lots of shoulder dislocations: What brace should I buy? Also, Boobs.

So I've subluxed and dislocated my right shoulder 4 times now, and it's loose to the point at which it pops out if i even try to catch myself with my right arm when i fall. So basically my options are to keep hurting it, get surgery, or buy a brace that will keep it from dislocating, and the brace definitely sounds best to me.

Have any of you had to buy a brace for this reason? If so, what kind should I buy and where can I find one.

+k to anyone who can help me out

Thanks NS!

I was in a similar situation, but I had no option but to get surgery. My arm would dislocate if I raised my arm up to the height of my shoulder.

661 make some braces for the shoulder. Have a look on chain reaction cycles. Depending how your shoulder is damaged and to what extent will determin which may help.

What has your doctor said about it, what does he recomend. If you go for the surgery, make sure they discuss it with you. I ended up having to have 2 differnt operations, as the first turned out to be not enough for my problem. I was out for about 2 years which sucked but its good now.

there is also the option of doing physical therapy. going in and strengthening the muscles that help stabilize your shoulder. I did it a fe years after surgery and my shoulder being out a couple times.

damn dude, mine's fucked up but it's not that bad, like the last time I dislocated it I hit an airbag jump and landed fine, then it popped out when i went down to support myself, but i can definitely raise it above my head haha.

And if I went with surgery it wouldn't be until the end of the season, and all that the doctors have told me about it is that it would "tighten things up" and make it less prone to dislocation. But yeah, I'll check out 661, thanks dude! +k to you

you can get anything from here if u want : http://www.betterbraces.com/shoulder-braces/shoulder-and-clavicle-support

When I hurt my shoulder i used the brace called Chattanooga Sully AC Shoulder Support. They sell it there and its really good because its small so it can fit under your coat.

whats up man i been in the exact same boat as you twice

ive blown my right shoulder 8 times and my left twice (not all from skiing left originally happened in a fight)

Ive had surgury on my righty after 7 dislocations. the doc insisted my shoulder would be fine after surg and no more dislocations from stupid shit. I skiied a year and got lucky and then the next year i dislocated it again on a real light fall on a rail. This doctor was the top shoulder doc in the northeast usa so if he couldnt fix it i figure noone could.

But for you my man, and myself and all other who are plagued with shoulder probs the most important thing you can do for yourself is the physical therapy and them after on your own training the shit out of your shoulder. Move up in strength in the therabands (or whatever the stretchy band things you use for shoulder exercises are) to bungee cords, and then to 2 bungee cords so your shoulder is RIPPED for ski season. I got my shoulders huge for last ski season and i made it through ski season fine without one single problem. So strengthening the muscles around them to make up for/ or even surpass the strength of the things you damaged inside them is crucial.

As for braces ive had very very good luck with the sully. its cheap, comfyish, keeps you warm, and is very adjustable to the individual person and their specific needs. Check them out.

And good luck!

nice set of tits! 

i used to disloc my shoulder on the regs - it started with weird skiing accidents then would happen any random time - used to come out playing beer pong.  i just did mad exercises to strengthen the muscles around it.  then i started rock climbing a couple years ago and haven't had any problems with it since.  knock on wood. 

just find some light weights and do a bunch of shoulder strengthening stuff.  and start climbing.  its cooler than skiing anyways.

I had the same problem, used to dislocate my shoulder all the time, for two whole years. At the end of last season I ended up getting surgery, and have been strengthening my shoulder with the rubber band things, and so far, it has been good. Mind you, I don't know how it's going to hold up on a decent crash as this season hasnt really started yet and I haven't been able to do any real skiing. I would try a brace for sure though, then if its not working as good as you would hope, just get the surgery when the season is over.

my only option was surgery, but i'm happy with the results. 5 years with no issues, but I have toned it down on the jumps in the last few years.

Agree. I had surgery after I messed up my shoulder in Football. Next year dislocated it all over again. Cant even count the times ive dislocated it, but youre just going to have to keep the arm close to the body when you fall, it sucks I know but when that arm gets up or out it's much easier to pop out. Also that brace is the best one I've used also. jsut a touch of support to help. But you want to be able to move your arm around without it being totally locked at your side or something.

uhh nah tinga this guy is the guy who works on the eagles and steelers and some basketball teams shoulders and his partner does all there knees. There was a 5 month wait for him to do my 20 minute surg, deff the best around.

and i forgot to say as someone else pointed out, even if your shoulder is strong as fuck and you have a brace if you land with your arm out your shoulder is done for. You gotta constantly be protecting it and get into the habit of keeping your arm tight to your body when you fall, even if i means not using it to protect your head or whatever. i took a few head shots last year because i refused to stick my arms out when crashing. Mmm switch misty 9 overshoot to doubleeject faceplant

False I had the best shoulder surgeon in the northeast. He works on the bills, sabres, ect ect. /claim?
But for the OP I was in the same situation last ski season. I skied last year without surgery but i did do a lot of PT and got a really nice brace. I only popped it out twice last season and progressed more than I ever have.

Got surgery in spring and doing PT and stuff but i will still wear my brace this season. It puts resistance on me being able to raise my arm above shoulder height. Look into one like that. It also was multiple options for tantalization.

That looks like it wouldn't help with anterior dislocation which is more common I think.

i had one for both shoulders cost me about 300.  But i still dislocated both shoulder multiple times while wearing it.  In the end surgery worked and resting for almost a year healed up the other one also.

Try EVO braces. They're much less restricting than the big chest strap mounted ones. They're very common in motocross.

I had the surgery two years ago got super strong, had some insane crashes the past few years with no problems. I thought it was solid. Until Monday when It popped out again not even on a crash, just putting my had down slightly to balance on an over rotated backflip. Now I'm not sure if I can even get surgery again. Has anyone had two labral repair surgerys?

I had multiple dislocations before this season and bought a shoulder brace to help me get through to the end of the season when I can get surgery. Mine was an EVS SB03. They are pretty cheap yet well constructed compared to others i've seen and it has definitely helped my shoulder feel more stable and secure. It has not stopped the dislocations though - they just keep getting more and more frequent to the point where every time I hit an air or a cliff I know there's a good chance it'll pop out. Hoping surgery and lots of rehab and PT will show a vast improvement, booked in for the end of May so at least i'll have a good five months before ski season starts again.

i have dislocated both shoulders 50-10+ times due to seizures, i had surgery & neither worked & now i relocate myself, however my last duplication caused a bleed that caused severe pain & reduced movement. I could have a massive surgery but whilst my kids are young, Im working, i can relocate myself & the damage thats done is done so not much is gone get better or worse, not to mention they won't do surgery until Im 6months seizure free & last 1 was last week so my question is just gown useful is a brace, Im worried that it will dislocate whilst wearing 1 & i wont be able to relocate or putting my arm back to get it on will be the cause of dislocation (putting a coat on often causes it to pop out)
