constant shoulder dislocation e.r. dr think i'm drug seeking what do i do?

Question

What is does it mean to have dislocation of the shoulder?

Answer 1

See : Ortho. Don't ask for drugs.

Answer 2

Find a SportsMed doc: Go see a sports medicine specialist, preferably someone who has a primary care or non-operative background. See if physical therapy can strengthen your shoulder (rotator cuff) enough to prevent any more dislocations. If you're beyond that, an orthopedic shoulder specialist can offer you different surgical procedures to keep you from dislocating. Be prepared for lots of rehab afterwards!

Answer 3

Yes: After a shoulder dislocation many activities can lead to another shoulder dislocation especially with arms overhead while supporting weight. It is best to ease into theses activities and adjust weights based on how the shoulder feels.

Answer 4

Shoulder dislocation: Yes pullups put stress on the shoulder joint and you could get another dislocation.

Answer 5

Theraband: Theraband exercises which are progressively stronger large rubber bands are an excellent exercise to improve stability and strength about the shoulder after a dislocation.

Answer 6

Anterior Dislocation: Most dislocations occur when the humerus shifts anteriorly in relationship to the glenoid = anterior dislocation. I suggest a thrower's 10 program (http://www.Orthonc.Com/sites/default/files/forms/physical_therapy/sports_protocols/throwers_ten_exercise_program.Pdf) with bands/ light wt. Avoid tricep dips, & push-ups/ bench (w/ >90 elbow flexion) b/c these position the shoulder in a vulnerable way.

Answer 7

Rotator cuff strengt: Rotator cuff strengthening exercises, as well as general shoulder and shoulder blade muscle strengthening are indicated.

Answer 8

Physical Therapy: In general i recommend physical therapy. The program includes precautions to the therapist because of prior dislocation. The program also include cuff stabilization and strengthening. Assuming it was an anterior dislocation, i would have the therapist emphasize some subscapularis strengthening. The therapist would then progress you to a more vigorous program as you recover.

Answer 9

PT: A doctor directed physical therapy program would be best at this.

Answer 10

Physical therapy.: You should be evaluated by a Physical Therapist or an Athletic Trainer, for the best strengthening exercises for you, to minimize the chance of recurrent dislocations.

Answer 11

Surgery: People that had multiple traumatic shoulder dislocations are best dealt with surgery. This is usually an arthroscopic type procedure that has a greater than 90% success rate in stopping further dislocations. For people that can voluntarily dislocate their shoulders the success rate for surgery is much less.

Answer 12

See othopedist: Recurrent shoulder dislocation can be treated keep elbow on side and hand on stomach sling helps.

Answer 13

Depends...: The way that shoulders are reduced is dependent on the direction it has dislocated. Many shoulder dislocations will reduce spontaneously as your are moving around on your way to the emergency room. If the shoulder is still dislocated in the emergency room, the reduction maneuver chosen by the doctor will be based on the xray findings.

Answer 14

Various: There are a number of maneuvers that can reduce a dislocation, often in combination with some sedative/relaxer/pain med. Usually pulling on the arm with some counter-traction is sufficient. Xrays are usually needed afterward to check the status of any fractures.

Answer 15

Sedation.: Usually in an emergency room you would be sedated and a doctor would then skillfully manipulate (reduce) the dislocation (put it back in place).
