Suggest Treatment For A Dislocated Shoulder

Hello, I m a 17 year old boy and I have dislocated my shoulder 8 times in the last half year. Apart from twice, my shoulder got better after about 2 days. I dislocated my shoulder yesterday and was quite worried. During the night, I was under the influence of alcohol and it felt like my arm was going to fall out of the socket unless I kept it completely vertical. Even now I m fearing something might happen anytime. Is this a psychological effect, or is something actually wrong?

Hello,

I have studied your case.
For recurrent shoulder dislocation you need further investigation and treatment.
MRI may show Hill sach injury or bankart lesion.
Hill sach injury is bony defect and you may need investigation and arthroscopy

You may need arthroscopic repair for bony bankart lesion.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS ,or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
You may need to take rest for early healing.
After correction usually recovery occurs in 4 to 6 months.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
