A member asked:
How normal would it be for numbness after dislocating my shoulder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is not uncommon for a dislocated shoulder to be asssociated with nerve injury. This can be either numbness or even muscle paralysis. The good news is that in most all of the cases this is temporary.
