A member asked:

My shoulder popped out 10 times since 2010. if i don't do the surgery is there any possibility to remain paralyzed? if yes does it guarantee healing?

Paralyzed?: Not sure what you mean by paralyzed. Surgery is done to keep the shoulder from dislocating. With multiple dislocations, need complete work-up to determine best treatment. If there is bone loss on the humeral head and/or socket, you, may need a bone graft. See a shoulder specialist who is experienced with instability surgeries.

Shoulder Specialist: Chronic instability can result in traction/torque to several nerves about the shoulder-axillary and suprascapular nerves so some patients can experience severe shoulder weakness due to the nerve injury. http://www.theshouldercenter.com/shoulderpain/2012/shoulder-surgery/playing-can-worsen-already-damaged-shoulders/ consider a second opinion with a shoulder specialist.
