4.40am, Dislocated shoulder, what to do?

go to the ER. even a highly trained person in sports medicine wouldn't attempt to reset their own dislocated joint.

the pain could be so great you pass out and hit your head and either have permanent brain damage or death.

go to the ER. they know what they are doing and they've done this many times before.

Fair enough.

NOT YET!!


You can try muscle relaxers and just take it easy for a few days and see what happens....or:

This too may work, stand up, bend over at the hip and let your arm dangle, take a 20lb weight (more or less depending on your strength) and let it hang straight down, relax the shoulder as much as you can and rotate it both counter clockwise and clockwise, this can get it back in place.

You need to be pretty sure you didn't tear your rotator cuff, if you stand up and can't lift your arm at all then this could be the case, if it's just a dislocation you should be fine in a few days though you most likely stretched tendons and pulled muscles, this hurts, but heals quickly once back in place.

Good luck!!

Go to the ER, get a shot of morphine, and you won't feel a thing.

How does this fix the problem?

Why not just fire up a joint?

its kinda hard to fire up a joint when your shoulder dislocates....hey I got a better idea---
go to the ER and get the shot of Moriphine, fix the shoulder, get another moriphine shot--go home and blaze til midnight!!
Hey, have couple stiff drinks too!!

I'll try it, doesn't look like it can make it worse and seems a gentle approach.

It's not the rotator cuff.

I'm used to pain, no need for morphine lol.
