shoulder dislocation

Has anyone ever dislocated their shoulder?
Last night i was wrestling with someone and im pretty sure my shoulder dislocated then re-located shortly after. Its tender now, i can move it, it has some sharp pains when i lift it too much. I dont wanna have to go see a doctor for this one, im hoping one of you guys has done this before and you can tell me what i should do. Is it just going to re-adjust and thins will be fine in a few days to a week, or is it going to be like this unless i get some surgery. I dont want to have to get any surgery or something.

Thanks.

I've done it 3 times. The first two times I waited 4 days for the pain to go away, then went to the doctor. The last time I waited a week and the pain just went away by itself.

Luckily, no. I nearly shattered my left arm once during a wrestling match though. It hurt like a bitch for at least a week.

If you go to a doctor to have it checked out all he will do is feel along your arm/shoulder to make sure everything is set right, maybe press along spots and ask if it hurts. It isn't a bad idea to go to make sure it heals right.

I agree with Grav, get it checked so problems wont arise later on in life. My buddy didnt go see a doc after he hurt this shoulder 4 years ago and now he barely can do anything. The doc now said that it could have been fixed, but the way it repaired itself is to difficult to change without hurting the arm for a extended period of time. Do the safe thing

You should really listen to this advice, at the very least you'll find out nothing is wrong. However if something is wrong, or dislocated its better to have it fixed sooner.

Nothing worse than a bone issue healing incorrectly, they literally have to break it (or dislocate it) again to let it heal correctly.

I'd see a doctor if you can.

Spit on it. Like a real man.

I think its fine.

I dont want to go see a doctor because it is just going to stress out my mom. If the pain doesnt go away im just going to call my mom one day after school and say i hurt it lifting. Im pretty sure its no big deal though. I dont think it is going to be that big of a deal. I went to work today and i seemed to be doing a lot better. I will probably go to my personal trainer at track practice and tell them about it, they know all about sports medicines and things I can do to help it.

I was just wondering how long it should take for the pain to go away. I've heard that since i dislocated it already once, its never going to be the same, like if you roll your ankle bad enough it will always be very sensitive.

Stupid choice, IMO.

It depends on how much you're using the joint.

If you are continuing to go around your life like nothing happened, it could get worse and hurt for a long time.
