In this case just sling it, no one really gives a shit or thinks you're a cripple.

most optimal solution is to just cut your arm off

When I broke my collarbone in two places, before and right after surgery whenever I didnt have my sling on (took it off to shower, get dressed etc) Shit hurt alot. Use the sling for 2 weeks or whatever and feel good as new, or don't use a sling and be in pain for a month of more. Up to you OP

Yeah man dont use a sling, i mean why would you want your shoulder to heal quicker and properly.

Exactly.  Fuck the doctors.  They're goofs that don't know what they're talking about.   Skiing in october is more important than wearing a sling and healing properly.

Get it checked out. I dislocated mine, was told to take 6 weeks off and get stronger. I took a week off and dislocated it again my first day back. Put it in myself and went home. Since then I've been dislocating it almost once a week for the past 4 years. I finally got surgery on Monday of last week.

Don't fuck around with it. Take a month or two off, go lift weights, swim, etc. Just get your shoulder stronger or else you're gonna end up with shit like this and you'll go from a month or two off the skis to 2 years off the skis like me.

Only other thing I would suggest to you if you plan on saying fuck the doctor would be to get a shoulder brace.

The best one is going to be the Sully Shoulder Brace, around $150 plus or minus. That's the only one I'd look at. All the others are pieces of shit.
