Yes, it is very possible

I guess not, if he broke his arm. Otherwise his elbow would have touched too and the elbow is considered down (try it).  That, and  if the someone he spun off of was the opponent anyway unless you're talking college rules.\n\nPS who are those other donuts.  Both knees?  Shoulders?  Ball and knee?

You could have bursitis or a calcium growth on your shoulder blade which is inflamed. I've had both. An operation took care of the 'bhur' on the blade. The bursitis persists.

Yes and no. All it does is release air from the joints in the spine. However, if you are not careful you can do serious damage to eachother's spinal columns. You could rupture a disk, etc.

It is possible. Ask your doctor.

Possibly a broken rib.  You can break a rib from something as simple as sneezing.  You can go get an x-ray just to be sure, but there's nothing that can be done for a rib fracture.

I dislocated my shoulder 13 times before finally having surgery back in 1992.  I have not had any problems with it since then.  However, I never got back into rock climbing because I had a mental block that my shoulder wouldn't be able to support me.  That was when I then started competing in triathlon instead.\n\nAnyway, my experience with patients varies considerably.  It all depends on the surgeon - some specialize in shoulder surgery and you can get really good results.  It also depends on the physical therapy you get afterwoulds and how strong it becomes.\n\nIf you fell on it now you would either cause more damage/trauma to the area, or worse.  The pain is excruciating when you dislocate it - remember the Lethal Weapon movie?  I could do that!!  Really wrecked the shoulder and no choice but to get the shoulder surgery.\n\nGood luck!!

A truly torn rotator cuff wouldn't allow you to pick your arm up over you head.  Alternately, if someone put your arm up at shoulder height, you wouldn't be able to hold it their yourself.  At the time of injury you would have felt intense pain, had moderate swelling in your shoulder, and may have had numbness or tingling down your arm to your fingers.  If you suspect that you have torn your rotator cuff, you need to get to your doctor and have it checked out.  Here is some information for you to read.

You need to go to physio or learn some exercises to strengthen your shoulder and the muscles surrounding it. Once you dislocate a joint, the more likely it is that it will happen again; especially the shoulder.\n\nYou need to take some time off from the sports and let your shoulder completely heal. You could be rushing your shoulder back into sports and that's why it's happened 5x.\n\nTalk to your doctor and see if she/he has any ideas. Get an x-ray to see if it's something structurally wrong with your shoulder. Find out if you have a sublaxating shoulder joint. That's when your shoulder will slip out but not completely dislocate. If you have a sublaxating shoulder, dislocating it happens a lot more frequently.

i broke mine 15 years ago and its fine now.  rest the arm on the affected side and try not to lift arm up higher than shoulder for a few weeks and you'll be fine.

No.  If the injury was caused by him punching an object.  However if a box fell on him or whatever... possible.\n\nI would hope that a friend wouldn't do that to you.  But he would have to prove to the court that the injury was due to your negligence.

Yes...I broke my Clavicle (a.k.a. the collar bone), which is also the most commonly broken bone in the human body.

When my son was little I carried him around all the time.  I was diagnosed with bursitis.  \nIt hurt near the shoulder joint and I could not lift my arm past a certain point or at a certain angle.\nThe doctor put me on anti-inflamitories and prescribed physical therapy on it.\n\nI hope this helps.

sound like you pulled something.The only way to know if it's fractured is go to a doctor for x-rays.\nAsk your gym teacher for tips on weight lifting before you really get hurt.There are proper ways of lifting.

yes its possible but it would be more likely from an injury to your back. Not the Vagus nerve. It would be the phrenic nerve which innervates the diaphragm that could cause it but you need to get checked out by a neurologist and or neurosurgeon.

this maybe your own feeling.\ni suggest to go and check it with an orthopedic.incase a redundant dislocation is happening,although 80% of shoulder dislocations are to the front.
