After dislocating a joint, how long will it take for it to feel normal again?

Depends...: Depends on which joint, how long it was dislocated for, whether it was completely dislocated or just "subluxed", on associated injuries such as fractures and injuries to "soft tissues" such as nerves and blood vessels, whether it is and "open" or "closed" injury etc.. So many factors are involved. A lot will also depend on the type and extent of therapy following injury. Best of luck!
