It will probably take weeks if not a few months for it not to be sore any longer, an ex of mine did this once and was in pain for a while after getting it fixed.  Now he didn't have these but maybe there are some pt (physical therapy) exercises you can do to help it heal.  Good luck hope you feel better.

When I was nine, I broke my arm. I was jumping off a little tykes pic nic table and grabbing the top bar of my swing set. Swinging and then jumping off. Well, we moved it back a little to far for me (i am not very tall!! about 5 foot tall at 25) and I missed the top bar. I fell and tried to catch myself with my left arm. I them proceeded to land on top of my arm and broke both the bones in my arm with one coming through the skin. I had emergency surgery, 14 stitches and a heavy plaster cast from fingertips to shoulder for four months. The scar is a doozy too. I held the record for worst broken bone on a girl at the hospital for a while. Hurts just thinking about it.

Are you talking about shoulder pain?  Yes.  If you injured yourself up there and are continuing to do your usual routine of pushups, you may be aggrevating the injury -- making it worse.  Hold off on the push ups for a while or at least cut down on their number.

My daughter & I both get a sharp shooting pain through our right shoulder. It feels like your being electricuted. I asked the doctor about it & she said it's mild nerve damage that should correct itself with exercise.

Hi well this all depends how bad the dislocation was and also how bably tou tore the ligament.Dislocations can take anything up to 2 mths to heal properly,and the ligament which surrounds the finger can take anything from 6-8wks,you have to remember when you dislocate any bones they are all surrounded by ligaments,tissue,muscle so all off these have to get bck to the way they wore before you injured your finger so it will take time im affraid.Rest the finger as much as possible,and see you gp if not getting no better in a mth or so.Good Luck

Your shoulder subluxed and you may have irritated some of the nerves.  The nerves would have had a traction force upon them which can cause some of your symptoms.  Rarely, one of the nerves can be pinched as the shoulder relocates.\n\nYou should get it x-rayed to make sure nothing serious happened and that the shoulder went back into the correct position and that you didn't cause trauma to any of the other joints or structures in the area.  In the meantime, keep icing it and taking antiinflammatory medication, i.e. Advil.  Try not to use it either - no riding the bike again just yet!

The first thing is, without an evaluation by an experienced physician, you don't really know what's going on with the shoulder.  There can be several causes for pain and limited mobility in the shoulder.  Some of 'em can be very serious.\nThe person with the pained shoulder can go to any public hospital emergency room and be evaluated.  Yes, you may have a long wait in line and yes, you may be asked some uncomfortable questions regarding your ability to pay.  Federal and state law, however, insist that you cannot be denied care simply becuse you're unable to pay IF the hospital in question recieves ANY federal funding - and all public hospitals do.\nThe treatment for a dislocated shoulder demands the services of a skilled team.  Once upon a time it was thought sufficient for a strong man to sieze the arm on the affected side and give a mighty jerk.  That, unfortunately, often led to further damage to the already messed-up joint. And it hurt like hell! Today, the joint would be set under anesthesia and a proper cast/surgical support applied.  As the circulating nurse on the team that would attempt to reset the shoulder, I would expect to see an anesthetist, an orthopedic surgeon, another MD or an orthopedic nurse-practicioner as his direct assistant, a cast technician, an x-ray technician and another experienced nurse in the room, all concentrating on that guy or gal with the messed-up shoulder.  \nI'm sorry, but no alternative medicine is going to do it.  IF the shoulder really is dislocated, nothing short of manual reduction is going to fix things.  Hey - you need to get the shoulder fixed first and only THEN worry about who's gonna pay for it.  Do it soon; the disability from a severely-dislocated shoulder can become permanent!

I'll tell you this. Skiing is my life, and sometimes bad stuff does happen... I have already torn the ligaments of my right shoulder twice, but I am still alive! THe first time I only had physical therapy and it did not go too well. After my second fall, I had surgery, and yes, the results are sketchy, but mine worked out well. Of course the rehabilitation took up the whole season, and for most of the spring I was in physical therapy, but now... perfect! I play tennis over the summer, and in the winter I can enjoy life on snow once more. Good luck to you too!

I've had frozen shoulder for 2 years now.  I've been to 2 doctors.  I finally cured myself although its not perfect.  I exercise my arm and shoulder every night before going to sleep in bed.  I went on the Internet and looked up frozen shoulder and there are exercises you can do by yourself.  Whatever you do, don't baby it.  The more it hurts, the faster it will heal.  The 2 doctors had me baby it and I wasn't getting better so I started getting mad and exercising it myself.  Its now about 95% healed after 2 years of listening to doctors.

If it's a sharp pain, it might be a dislocated rib.  I just had one of those a few months ago and they hurt like hell!  I went to the chiropractor and he popped in back in (he said it would hurt a little-he lied!), and I felt 100% better immediately.  BTW, I fell and dislocated it, but apparently you can do that from turning wrong or any number of things.

RICE Treatment.\nRest:\nThe first 24-48 hours after the injury is considered a critical treatment period and activities need to be curtailed. Gradually use the injured extremity as much as tolerated, by try to avoid any activities that cause pain. Often using a splint or slings is necessary to adequately rest the injured body part. \nIce:\nFor the first 48 hours post-injury, ice the sprain or strain 20 minutes at a time every 3-4 hours. The ice pack can be a bag of frozen vegetables (peas or corn), allowing you to be able to re-use the bag and it mould to your body.Alternatively, wrap ice in a clothing, place it on the affected area.\nCaution: Do NOT ice a sprain for more than 20 minutes at a time! You will not be helping heal the injury any faster, and you can cause damage to the tissues!\nCompression:\nUse compression when elevating sprain in early treatment. Using a crepe bandage, wrap the area overlapping the elastic wrap by one-half of the width of the wrap. The wrap should be snug, but not cutting off circulation to the extremity.If your fingers or toes become cold, blue, or tingle, re-wrap.It means it too tight.\nElevate:\nKeep your sprain higher than your heart if possible. Elevate at night by placing pillows under your shoulder. \n\nThis method works by constricting the flow of blood to the affected area. As blood circulation can take away the thing that repair the sprain.\nGet Well Soon :)

This is a question for your doctor. No one tell you how to heal yourself. You need professional advise. It depends on how you are healing. Doctors must take X-rays and physical therophy (spelling?). I suppose you must excercise according to a specialist instructions. I would consult the doctor would did the shoulder replacement. Never take advise just from any lay person this could cause complications that could have permenant damage on your health and shoulder. Do the right thing please :)/

Been there done that.. twice.  I dislocated my right knee 11 yrs ago.. but there was someone with me at the time. They are the one that dislocated it!!  So he helped me out. The second knee cap that dislocated.. I was alone, upstairs, and my newborn was downstairs.  There was no way I could get down a flight of stairs.  I called my boyfriend who was on the road about 2 hours away and had him call his mom for help, cuz I didn't know her phone number by heart.  Its amazing what you can do when you are injured, though.  I had managed to get my kneecap back in place, and hobble down a flight of stairs to be with my baby until help arrived.  Scary, but it makes you much stronger.  It's amazing.

Your dislocated elbow should be fine in about 3 weeks. You probably will be able to lift again after 6. You need to undergo supervised physiotherapy. See a Rehab doctor. By the way, you do a lot of texting, don't you? I can tell by the way you wrote NE thing for anything.

Probably about once every two to four weeks to make sure it is healing.  Ask your doctor about the need for physical therapy.  It may be indicated if the shoulder is painful, swollen, has limited range of motion and/or there is a loss of strength.  If you are limited in normal daily activities or sport, physical therapy may help you return to normal.\n\nGood luck!

Hi,  In the city where I live we have a place called American Disabilities Associations, They should be able to tell you where you can get it repaired.   When I had my arm repaired I took it to a place called SCOPE,  between my Medicare and insurance it did not cost me anything.
