A member asked:

My right shoulder serverly shivers when i stretch after i dislocated it, it's only been a week, is this a sign that i need surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Refer to answer: In young people usually the best treatment to prevent further damage, and stop re dislocation best option is arthroscopic reapair of cause of dislocation and have mr arthrogram. See sport orthopedic surgeon or see your pcp that knows some one who does this frequently and he see them and have good results. Good luck.
