Is Dislocation Of Shoulder A Serious Concern?
I dislocated my should a couple days ago away from my home town. The ER doctor put it back in place and put a sling on it. He was not an orthopedic doctor. Do I need to see an orthopedic Dr. to determine how bad the dislocation is and to get physical therapy on it?
