A member asked:

It's 10 months since my first anterior shoulder dislocation, are there any exercises i should stay away from at the gym (weightlifting) ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: It is impossible to say with the minimal information you supplied. What was the cause of the dislocation? What damage was done to the shoulder as the result? Are you still having any pain? The basic answer is to start slowly and stop if any shoulder symptoms occur.
