Replying to Shoulder Problems

I'm 16 years old and prone to chronic dislocation (FUCK). I had shoulder surgery on my right shoulder last year for a torn labrum and a pothole (dent) in my shoulder. I had at least eight dislocations on this shoulder before surgery from park skiing and non-park skiing-related injuries. Thankfully, I haven't dislocated My right shoulder since my laparoscopic surgery. Recently, I banged my left shoulder right off the rip-off of a beam, dislocating and tearing my labrum. This happened again due to aggressive resort riding in Utah.

Due to these dislocations and from the MRI, I needed to have another laparoscopic surgery on the left shoulder for the torn labrum and pothole in the shoulder.

my head is seriously in the gutter rn. I am currently in recovery and am having a brainfuck over the thought of re-injury on either shoulder when I return to skiing. I'm taking the PT very seriously and will continue to do it even for both shoulders.


I'm keeping my head up and hoping that my left shoulder will follow in my right shoulder's footsteps of having not dislocated/sublux after surgery and PT.

Praying that I won't encounter more dislocations from impact, its so fucking painful and maybe I just have to accept that it may happen again as falling is inevitable from happening.

I'm incredibly thankful that I haven't encountered worse injuries, but I have paid a severe emotional toll on myself. Hoping that anyone suffering from the same fucked up circumstance has any advice to offer. Any is appreciated.

Best,

A Fellow shoulder injurerer

P.S any advice on shoulder braces would be extremely appreciated as well!
