A member asked:

After a shoulder injury, what can i do to support it while playing sports?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: Usually external supports do not work well and the ones that do are very bulky and combersone to wear.The best way to prevent reinjury is a good program of rehabilitation..Olso depend upon what kind of sport you are refereeing to..
