My 12 year old is in severe pain with a dislocated shoulder. what is the best way to treat a dislocated shoulder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This depends: I am assuming that the shoulder has been put back in. If the shoulder has been put back in, a short period of rest in a sling followed by gentle attempts to regain range of motion will allow early pain relief. Then pt can begin. If the shoulder has not been put back in, go to a doctor now.
