I've been on workman's comp because of my shoulder . I've done over 25 sessions of pt. And nothing seems to be working I've gotten a MRI and there my doctor didn't find anything through that. And now I'm just ready to get back to work..
I suffered a hard fall on my sloped driveway after hitting ice one winter. It pretty much felt like a slam dunk wrestling style going down hard on my R. shoulder and shoulder blade. Had injections didn't help went to a Bone and joint Dr. and he said no tears but you do have bursitis. I had seen this Dr. 6 months before the fall and that was the same Diagnosis. Had regular x-rays and no broken bones but the feeling of subluxation is so prevalent. Severe pain, numbness of my right arm, pain in the right bicep, right scapula and entire shoulder area feels like it's clunking whenever I am doing something. Pain travels under the right collar bone and up the right side of my neck. It's been 3 and a half months and it's just getting worse. So far I they say do exercises but I can't even move the arm in any direction without numbness and pain throughout . Can't sleep on the right or the left due to positioning of the right shoulder, when on my back numbing pain on the right shoulder blade...which evidently protrudes some with certain movement of the R. arm and shoulder. See the next Neurologist/sports medicine Dr at the hospital in June 2022. I think I need an MRI to see if there is a subluxation of the area mentioned. I trying to get a 15 degree abduction sling for sleeping to stabilize my are so I can sleep. Nothing worse than being so tired and sore and have to sleep like your on a bed of spikes. 😫 A real torture in any case.
Hi I suffer from spontaneous sprains, I do not play regular sports so I do not know why it happened. I have been in physiotherapy for over half a year and I do not see any improvement, on the contrary the situation is getting worse, I am 14 years old and I do not think that appropriate surgery currently has other recommendations?
I had what I believe to be a dislocation is 2005 while pressing aft (hand behind my body pushing). After more than a decade I was diagnosed with shoulder instability with both voluntary and (less frequently) involuntary subluxation. Aside from rotator cuff exercises (beneficial, I’m sure, but no noticed difference for me) I have found that simply training proper posture, learning scapular control and placement, and serratus anterior exercise has done worlds of benefits for me. Stick with it. Your body is really, really cool. Odds that you actually need surgery are likely low.
I had labrum surgery in 2017. It was my senior year in HS. I went through physical therapy and felt thought it helped. Until fall semester of my freshman year in college. I dislocated my shoulder and ever since then I have had multiple (probably 50+) subluxations. Went back to my orthopedic surgeon back home during the summer of 2019 and had MRI done and he just recommended exercises, even though though there were still tears and scarring. Never went back to him cause I didn’t find that very helpful. After my shoulder has a subluxation, it’ll be sore for the next 3-5 days and it’ll feel better until it happens again. It sucks having to live like this especially when you love to play sports and be active.
Dude I can relate so hard to this. Been dealing with it for a few years now just don’t have the money for an MRI. I figured once I got one though they would for sure recommend surgery. I hope they do anyway. It hurts so bad when it pops out and goes back in I hate it
Work work work as hard as u can stretching and building ur shoulder muscles. Knee push ups and arm circles are some easy things that really target that shoulder. I have this too and don’t have much money so building that shoulder muscle is the best thing for me. Hope this helps!! Blessing to you’ll!!
I was born with bilateral talipes 35 years back in my legs, underwent surgery that was not so successful, fought hard and won it. in 2012 met with an accident that dislocated my right arm, since then 3 times subluxation in the same arm, sometimes feel why me , why all these to me!!! But something always says in the back of my head 'you are a fighter'.. I will win this too!!!! On the contrast what will make me to win this more than hardwork is patience and consciousness with which I handle my arm henceforth !
Unfortunately I suffer from this in my left shoulder. Sometimes it this happens simply by stretching or reaching backwards. My left shoulder and arm become unusable for several minutes. A couple of times I have woke up in the middle of the night to find it has slide out of place.
My sublux is due to a stroke I'm having nerve test done at the request of a surgeon I'm praying he can repair muscle loss what are your thoughts on this it's very painful 4 yrs of therapy didnt work
Hello @Jlong I have the same issue in my left shoulder. I see your reply is from 3 years ago, hopefully you get to see this. I just want to know if you’ve found a permanent solution to the problem? Thank you.
Actually I HAD SUBLUXATION for my LH and RH before. Now its totally, PERFECTLY GOING WELL like my old days. TIP is , u can find some traditional massage therapy (especially in INDIA, KERALA known as KALARI THIRUMMAL TREATMENT) to heal the dislocation problems. The BIGGEST ADVANTAGE is, u dont have to go for SURGERY. GIVE A TRY!!!
About 3 years ago I had discovered that I could very easily “pop” multiple joints such as my shoulder, hips, etc. in and out of place. I used it as a “party trick,” scaring people and grossing them out, for approximately a year, but then had stopped. A year after stopping, I had an incident on my right shoulder with my backpack. The bag weighed my shoulder down and I felt an intense pop. I eventually went to a doctor and they said that my shoulder has muscles and tendons like noodles, due to how streatched our and overused they are. I went to physical therapy for 6 months, after having several opinions from numerous doctors. I had a few X-rays along with an MRI, but nothing came up, besides and abundant amount of laxity. My shoulder always feels out of place. I am going back to the one doctor, however, I don’t know if they’ll want to do surgery. They said it will result in frozen shoulder which they said is more painful than the current state. Sorry for writing so much.
Hi....I face a similar problem....in so many different angles my shoulder moves out of place, all of this suddenly started 4 yrs ago and since then I haven't been able to dance ( I am a dancer ) as with many movements they click out of place. I wanted to ask you...has your shoulder gotten better? And does your shoulder restrict you from doing movements? For me it moves out for my hips and wrist too but the tendency is less there compared to shoulder
I've had this condition since i was 16 im now 31 and still deal with it. I was very athletic and into sports before it happened. Basically all I had was my physical attributes, so when it first happened to me it felt like i was stripped of everything. Its very hard to deal with especially if you were an athlete.
Wow! I thought I’d had it bad putting up with it for 5 years. Finally decided to priorities my Heath over career. Thank god whether it’s physio or surgery it’s basically free to have done. Hope yours goes well
I race motorcycles. In 1974, I developed a left shoulder subluxation. I saw an orthopedic doctor and he advised surgery. It would cost $5,000 and I was a broke single parent going to college full-time and that amount of money was not happening. While studying in the library one day, I decided to get a book on kinesiology and see what the problem with my shoulder could be. After studying the book for several days and resourcing a few other books, I decided to develop a rehabilitation program for my shoulder, and I was very successful. I still race motorcycles and my program worked so well that after 4 months, I stopped the program and I have had no issues with my shoulder since. A racing acquaintance had the same issue, and I gave my program to him, and he had the same result as I did.
Hey Man, I am a Motocross racer and I had a pretty bad crash. I also fear problems like those to develop, so maybe you could share your program. Would be very helpful
It happened to me 2 years ago which is 6 month before I started bjj and I started feeling extreme pain after competing in world pro but I decided to go on anyways since I had a nogi competition which was just a few days later for cash prize in which I got 3rd and then I found a good place to train but I also went to visit a doctor to redo my mri since it’s been 2 years already and he said that the labral tear is still there but I kept going anyways and my plan was to do the surgery after world pro which is in November and sadly it subluxed again today and I’m meant to compete next month this is super frustrating
Both me and my son suffer subluxations with many joints.. we both have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.. My son can use his arms when they sublux or dislocate.. me on the other hand can’t..
I have EDS and my shoulders sublux all the time. I’m at the point that I chose which side I sleep on, knowing that shoulder will bother me all the next day. :(. I think it’s time to see my pain management specialist and get an MRI and probably do PT.
@@ASLCindyAnderson I’m under pain management team. My Dr Is lovely. I have a good physio too for me and my son. I have to relocate my son’s shoulder most night because he sleeps in the weirdest positions.
Happened to me 10 years ago when I was 14 and got in a fight. My left shoulder just went out, popped it back in and continued. But since then it’s popped out numerous times even when swimming. Just recently popped out again this week after a few years of it not happening. Arm goes numb and tender for days afterwards. Just something I’ve learned to live with and be careful.
Shite, sounds similar to me. I *thought* that it first happened to me while I was playing soccer at around age 15. I slammed my shoulder into the goalpost and it hurt like hell . . . but then I didn't think about it until one day (I don't remember exactly when, but I was older-possibly 18 or more) when I was reaching for something from the driving seat of my little car into the back seat, it popped out and was the most *excruciating* pain I'd ever had! It seemed to lock, and it seemed like the entire head was out because when I put my other hand around it it was completely abnormal-feeling. I tried somehow to push it back in and I slowly rotated my arm VERY carefully and all of a sudden it popped back in! What a relief-I could have screamed for joy! But then for at least a week it felt like someone very big had punched me as hard as they could fifty times in the shoulder . . . it was a different kind of excruciating. Then, over the years, if ever I did something un-normal like reach behind me and pull out it would come . . . I was very fearful of it one day not going back in again and indeed, sometimes it lasted up to a minute (but seemed like an hour) but each time it always went back. Fast forward to my late 20s . . . (I'll finish this later as I have to go do something)

@@kamakirinoko Thankfully mine is not as painful after it occurs. It's happened 4 times in my life, and at first, it is very painful, I tense up and wince, and then it goes back in and I get some relief. It is sore that evening, but then the next day it is just like I got a vaccination in my shoulder. I initially got the injury when I was 16 doing improper benching form. I would be interested in hearing the rest of your story, if you remember what you were going to say. I am going to physio later tonight to get exercises to strengthen the capsule, but perhaps I will need surgery.
@@sakalaath Heh . . . it's been a while, but I *think* I was going to say that it began to become much easier to pop out-but NO less painful. And it would always be that thoughtless **reaching behind me** and pulling at the same time. Suffice to say, I NEVER do that any more! But flash forward to the middle of my 60s, and while it had been a while since my shoulder came out, a different feeling began to overtake it . . . it began to hurt, at first occasionally, then later, much, much worse. I had no idea what was happening to me, but my whole shoulder began to become stiff. Then, bizarrely, it became impossible to lift my arm past a certain point! I learned through the beginning miracle of the Internet (it was around 2000) that I had a delightful condition called Adhesive Capsulitis, or "Frozen Shoulder." (Google, please!) This was a horror that apparently could only be solved by "manipulation under anesthesia," a little procedure which I decided to FOREGO. Instead, I had to wait about a YEAR for it to go away. And the bizarre horror is that your comment finds me suspecting greatly that EXACTLY the same thing has begun happening to my LEFT shoulder! When I began feeling the pain in the shoulder I didn't remember my bout with Frozen Shoulder, but it's all coming back to me now . . . in more ways than one!!
Around 17, I started experiencing very mild subluxation during taking big shots, extreme shoulder movements while playing cricket, always ignored it, considering it nothing. I am 24, I experienced strong subluxation while playing badminton and it got settled by its own, but I lost my shoulder and arm strength. The apprehension is always there, you tend to live with fear of subluxing it again. The sports medicine person checked MRI and told I have a condition called HYPERLAXITY and all is fine but I randomly had tingling sensations and fatigue pain, loss of strength. Now, after 1st stroke I again experienced the trauma a week before and now I am planning to go for a very much experienced doc and an MR arthrogram to know the shit going inside my shoulder. Sad life!
If it's possible for you to go to Chennai, then I suggest you to meet Dr. Nobin Chetry (an Ortho-surgeon) since he's the only person who fixed my right shoulder
I was suffering from shoulder dislocation since 2008....went to many places for treatment including Patna....bt all in vain. Bt finally I was so lucky to have met him in 2018....and he treated me very well and now my shoulder is way far better than earlier

I had a couple shoulder injuries in my 20s which was 39 yrs ago. The MRI didn't show anything wrong so I did PT for 6 no but it would still roll out at times. My physical therapist did research and did a stretch test on it and the whole shoulder kinda came apart. He said you need to see your surgeon. I went to my surgeon and showed him how to do the test and not only did my shoulder do the same thing something else moved that time. He went in to do surgery and when I woke up he told me my labrum was detached in 2 places that couldn't be fixed and that I was unstable frontwards backwards and down and basically I was screwed. He didn't tell me that they had to move it all around during surgery to find that out. He said he cleaned up a piece of cartridge that was unattached,and hoped that was what I was as feeling move. I knew then it was the extra thing that moved when he did the second stretch test, and it wasn't going to be better. It was so much worse and so incredibly loose from the manipulations he did while I was under. I would wake up every morning with the bone moving in and out of the socket. It was unbelievable painful and I'm a hairdresser. I found Dr dillingham at Stanford and because the first surgeon only debrided and didn't even try to repair he saw me way before the yr I would have had to wait a yr. He had an MRT done which he said was an MRI in motion. He went in orthoscopically and repaired my labrum with suretack and shrunk up all my soft tissue with radio waves. It was the most painful recovery of my life but I was pain free and stable for 10 yrs. Then I had a baby and it rolled again. I probably should have done PT and waited for my hormones to go back to normal so my joints weren't loose to allow for the baby. Hindsight, Dr dillingham did an open capsule surgery where he cut and tightened the tendon and ligament and attached them with screws. It's been stable ever since but I was never truly pain free again. Now I'm in my 50s and took a fall. My good shoulder was hurting and the MRI showed a labrural tear. The physical therapist added some pretty extreme stretches on top of the strengthening exercises. Since that day it has been much more painful. Dr dillingham had said my right shoulder was the worst he'd ever seen. I asked him how that was possible being he's the 49er team surgeon. He kinda chuckled and said "people like you don't make it to the pros" after the pt appointment where he stretched it out I refused to go back until the Ortho says what needs to be done because if I continue to let him stretch it I believe he could cauz it to get much worse. After watching your video I'm pretty sure I made the right call
Got this problem when i was 15yo. Tackled during a soccer game. I was admitted to a hospital and had to fast for about 20 hours (more or less). Eventually, the orthopedic doc came and told me that i do not need a surgery as i was only 15yo that time. They told me that its a shoulder dislocation, but i do not think it is a dislocation. Iam 31 now. It does not come out of the socket where requires me to push it back in, but more like a strange feeling of the bone coming out from the socket n goes back in by itself, for example when i smash hard while playing badminton or throwing something with full force using my shoulder. Thus far, i've experienced this for about 5 times. Eventually, i came across a video demostrating particular exercises to strenghten the rotator cuff. Been working out for quite some time now and i dont get the shoulder bone poping out anymore, but im still controling my sholder or arm movements as i can feel that the shoulder bone poping out could happen if i use too much force from my shoulder. Lastly, from what i have learned, as we get older, the risk of shoulder bone poping out will increaseand it is prudent to control the range of motion of the shoulder joint. If u keep getting your shoulder bone pop out, eventually, u will need surgery. Sorry for the long post.
This happened to me again today for the 3rd or 4th time in my lifetime. First time it happened after i got into a fight and it popped, i put it back and after 20 minutes it popped out again and i had it placed back myself. Today i was doing bench press with 85kg over my chest and it popped out a bit, luckily spotter helped me not to get seriously injured. I'm not quiet sure what to do, i had broken humerus on this left arm 2 years ago and i had a surgery for it, and that is probably the reason why my musles and w/e got weaker around that shoulder and eventually popped. I will probably start taking some rehab exercises to strenghten the shoulder even more, since last time i failed to do so seems like. Feels very depressing and my morale dropped insanely after todays event but feels better after reading all these comments
I have had 1 incident of shoulder subluxation in the gym on the row machine, was quite a heavy weight towards the end of a session and as i was moving the handle from my chest back to the machine my shoulder popped out and popped straight back in within 1 second. Ever since my left shoulder has felt unstable, a little weak and i have had achy symptoms in my shoulder and down my arm for months now. Have started physio and are seeing improvements but will have to wait it out. The ache i get is by far the worst symptom, rather than instability and a little weakness.
I fell down onto a hard surface and caught myself in a side plank nearly 10 years ago. I’m pretty sure that was the moment it either dislocated or subluxated. It was pretty damn painful for a while afterwards. For awhile I only got shoulder pain on occasion once it healed. It regularly falls partially out of the socket nowadays, and it’s extremely startling and painful every time. I thought it only happened when I reached up and back. Until recently when it slid out while leaning forward and resting my weight on folded arms on the floor. I had one MRI done and they didn’t see anything abnormal which was absolutely devastating at the time. I know there’s something wrong with it. I just don’t know what the next step is toward proving it.
I broke my right radius 7 years ago, and have suffered issues with my right shoulder from then to this date. My shoulder 'clunks' out and back in very aggressively when I raise my arm up and back, or trying to reach my back, occasionally even when just putting a high load on it. I used to be a heavy vehicle and machinery mechanic, and had to leave the field behind due to this issue. Occasionally even the angle I lay on to sleep pops my shoulder out. I'm seeing a physio, they've confirmed it's subluxation, also CT scans show bursitis. Physio it helps but it's still pretty bad, just hurts less. The muscle from my rotator cuff to the bottom of my shoulder blade is extremely tough and I suffer a loss on sensation throughout.
I've had both shoulders stabilized with anchors, and donor ligaments put in my knees due to EDS hypermobility. Went through physical therapy before and after each surgery. Now I need a total shoulder replacement but since I'm only 45, the surgeon won't give me one yet since they only last about 10 years. Life with chronic pain is just not fun
About 6 years ago I took an unfortunate tumble while roller blading and my shoulder was shoved forward. Obviously it was extremely painful but I didn’t go to the doctors (which I regret). The next day I noticed with certain movements my shoulder would slide and pop and each pop would be extremely painful. I dealt with that for about a year before going to the doctors. After that I did therapy for about a month, quit since it didn’t help, and then went to another therapist for three months, and finally I went to another doctor who suggested surgery since therapy wasn’t helping. So about two years after my injury, I did the surgery and they tightened things up. The one thing they told me about the surgery was to be extremely careful during recovery, as to not undo it, and to also be warned that they could tighten it too much. However afterwards, my shoulder was fine for about a year. Unfortunately it’s reverted back to its previous state of popping and sliding out so much that I can grab my shoulder and move the bone. I’ll be going back to the doctors in a week to see if there are anymore options!
Since November 2018 I have experienced 3 subluxations for sure, but possibly 4 in less than 4 months. I have swam for years until a chronic back condition made me slow down and have been in and out of the water for a few years. The first subluxation happened when I was in physical therapy for my back doing a stretch, the second was by me brushing my hair, and the third by sliding my shower curtain closed. the possible fourth time I was probably out of range for my shoulder. As soon as the first subluxation we have been rehabbing my shoulder so since November 20, 2018 and it is still popping out. MRI showed no major damage, my bicep tendon was cut from a previous surgery (swim injury) and the MRI only revealed that my labrum is blunting. Therapist is getting concerned since my pain has been increasing dramatically just since my last subluxation on 2/3/19. We don't know of many options left surely with rehabbing it for over 3 months it shouldn't be sliding out so easily.
You might do some research on Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.. I have this and what you're describing sounds very similar. It is basically a connective tissue disorder.
@@AllisonBroyles Crazy I just saw this! I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with hEDS. My therapist shared his suspicions of me having it soon after I had shoulder stabilization surgery because my shoulder was basically more out of place than in. After a casual conversation bringing up my crazy shoulder motion, I was like that's not the only super bendy part of my body. Waited forever to see a geneticist and even when my appointment came is was odd because of COVID-19 and became a telehealth appointment. Since I was also told I have arthritis in my lumbar spine so it has just been so crazy and I have found I need time to process everything.
Man you hit my injury on the head. I always say it dislocates in my sleep and i roll over and it pops back in. Or i let my arm hang loose and i feel it slide and man does that hurt pain i have never felt before and i have had my rotator repaired before on this same shoulder by an excellent surgeon. There was no labral tear at the time of surgery. I am a wrestler and jiujitsu blackbelt. Its life altering but i don't want to go through another surgery they are hell. Recovery sucks . What should i do ? I know MRI but aside from that I am starting exercises for shoulder disclocations and rotator cuff tears. Best I can do for now. Great video you killed it.
Please update me! I have the same problem waking up and its out then pops back in after letting it hang and it and did it while i was fighting too. How can i reduce the pain?
My shoulder strayed as sublux due to stroke now is r4 in hes out of socket been like this 4 yrs it's very painful seeing a surgeon now who is willing to take a look hopefully repair
I had my first sublux back in 2018 and it hurt a bit, I had waited about a week before I start full training again. after this, it would happen again around every six or so weeks whenever I would move my arm quickly above and behind my head. since then I have lost count as to how many times it has happened, it's so common it doesn't even hurt anymore and its been getting worse I can hardly lean back over a chair with my arms up without worrying that it going to come out. I had physio for a long while and it helped a bit but not enough. I had to quit gymnastics because of it. all in all, they are annoying because they don't really warrant an opp but they are bad enough to stop you doing what you want to things you used to be able to do.
I think this is partly what's happening with me. Around two years ago I started having achiness in my shoulder. At the time I was doing a lot of crochet so I was stuck in one position for hours at a time, probably in a bad posture. Then I had two events of extreme pain when moving my arm quickly (once to reach out, once to swat a fly). The pain was so bad it almost took me to the floor. Then I started noticing really bad restrictions in my range of motion. And I have since narrowed it down to several things: I can't fully externally and internally rotate my arm, I can't raise my arm without my entire shoulder lifting and my traps engaging, my subscapularis is locked, I have knots in all my muscles surrounding my shoulder blade, I have some atrophy of the deltoids, and when I get a massage I notice that I can feel a kind of slipping going on in my shoulder when she gently manipulates my arm away from my body. This slipping also occurs at home. It's not painful when it happens but it is definitely disconcerting. It really is a mess. And no, I have not had any imaging done. Other than physical therapy and massage, I think the only thing they could do for me is surgery and I don't believe in surgery unless it's for a life-saving procedure. I can move and I can function... but my thought that this was just a frozen shoulder that would correct itself in a year or two is gone.
im going to try the atg system and see if it works for me im still gonna get imaging done the reason why i hesitated is because of my doctor i don't like her at all honestly i wish i had another doctor
I dislocated my shoulder in June of 2021, had my first subluxation today, I can still do normal things but certain positions hurt, hopefully I heal this
I have had many subluxations and dislocations to not just my shoulders but also to my wrists, elbows, hips, and knees. I've done physical therapy but to be honest it doesn't really help.
Hi David , by shoulder subluxed Today unfortunately. I have had surgery before on my shoulder because I had several dislocations every month had to take ambulance to the emergency room several times a month so they did surgery on me . And I have a personal trainee now to strengthen my shoulder muscles. the shoulder is much better now, that’s why I was so afraid today when it happend, I was thinking “ not again “ But after a few minutes the shoulder popped back into place on its own , what a relief, so I guess it was a subluxation instead of a dislocation. previously I had to be sedated by drugs to be able to relax to get the shoulder back In place , one time I had to go under general anaesthesia . I was just stretching my arms behind my back , that’s when it happened . So probably the surgery worked to get the shoulder more stabil so it won’t dislocate again, but I’m still not completely well when my shoulder subluxed today . Do you know if that’s a common thing even after surgery that the shoulder can sublux? I had surgery last summer , today was first time after my surgery that the shoulder almost dislocated again . I was scared when it happened, wondering if I had to go the emergency room again. The pain was there but not that extreme pain I felt on previous occasions. Thanks for the video David , really informative.

I have Ehlers-Danlos, and my shoulders are extremely hypermobile. I'll use my arm (singular) as a pillow, lying back on my elbow. I used to pop my shoulders apart to squeeze into tight dresses. One time I had a full dislocation just from taking my jacket off - that time I went to the ER. My PT helped me strengthen the muscles, but it's futile when every joint in your body is like this. Heck, sometimes my shoulder will come apart during my PT exercises, and my useless arm clatters to the floor. I hope they find a cure eventually..
My shoulder and knee both do it randomly from accidents I've had and its extremely painful. I have been trying to strengthen both but overworking it causes it as well. :( A tense swing at the batting cages took my shoulder out today after 2 month pain free with working out. Time to see the doc :/
I’m going for surgery soon about it. I’ve been suffering for 8 years, and I can’t deal with it anymore. It’s straining my neck so much. I’ve got a 7mm sublaxation and it’s moving forward also, damaging my posture. I live in China so language is a barrier but I’m struggling with the pain and management. 7 years of gym, rehab just couldn’t cut it!
I have a connective tissue disorder and have had several slight subluxations that don't show up on any xrays. So they have never been addressed because they don't believe that I subulaxed because it's not fully dislocated. It's like those old dolls or action figures that had their joints held together with rubber bands. Pull it out goes right back in ,so only deep tissue damage or torn ligaments are the diagnosis. I have gotten instability in my fingers, hand, wrist, SI joints , hips, knees, ankles, toes, arches, and shoulder.
My left houlderbeen sliding in and out all the time multiple times a hour. Went to a physical therapist but they said its fine. It mostly happens when i don’t expect. When muscles engage its not popping out
I think you're on to something there. I have the same issue. When muscles are engaged it doesn't seem to be an issue at all which explains why I can usually exercise, lift weights with no issue. Sudden/ unexpected / involuntary movements is 99% the issue
i had a tear in my left LAT muscle 2 years ago that was diagnosed though a mri arthrogram and did physical therapy for it and then returned about 6 months later due to soreness and that “loose” feeling. I was told by one of the therapists that my LAT muscle was so tight it popped the ball partially out of the socket at all times. at that time i experienced minor subluxations (or at least what i think are subluxations). after physical therapy i still thought i was experiencing these subluxations and thought it was normal. now almost a year later i experience shoulder subluxations daily especially when relaxing it while riding my horse (casual rides where i am able to rest one arm but the movement of the horse would make it subluxate), carry something heavy with one arm, and when i hold my arm out and pull against something. The subluxations are not too painful but when i am riding and it goes in and out multiple times it makes my shoulder quite sore and can be painful.
I subluxed my shoulder hundreds of times intentionally in my early 20’s because I thought it felt like a relief after I did it not knowing what was wrong with my shoulder. years later I realized that was harming my body but fortunately after the mri I only had a small labrum tear. That being said if you have a sublux every now and then it does not mean “ohh I immediately have to get an mri because my shoulder subluxed” just do external rotation and scapula excercises and you’ll be good I didn’t even need surgery for mine and I continue to lift heavy weights at the gym, I do wonder if I could be stronger if I had the surgery but regardless I can do everything I need to do except for barbell squats
I did my right shoulder in as a kid chipped rotator cuff had to get surgery which didn't really work. Now i just did this to my left at the driving range in my backswing.. I cant afford insurance so pt is my only option, just hoping im not screwed for life now.
I think I subluxed my shoulder yesterday which is why I'm looking at these videos. I was doing a bench press with dumbbells and at the end of the set it popped out backwards and then went back in when I dropped the weight to my side. Aches a little bit but feels fine, ant suggestions on what I should do - only 15 and love sport so don't want it happening often.
Same thing happened to me a few days ago but it was because I failed to re-rack the incline barbell properly and my right arm kept going back, shoulder popped out and in, still have full range of motion 4 days later but it is a bit achey. What happened to you after your accident man?
That is literally what happened today except I was doing shoulder press and when locking out my left arm it happened and with my shoulder slightly popped out the arm just fell and the dumbell fell right on my thigh, and now at night there is mild pain
When I was 8 I slept on my hole body wrong and I can subluxation my shoulders my foot near my thigh area and my neck has been hurting and it has been hurting in those area and this video helped.
It started when I was 15 doing gymnastics and I feel has slowly gotten more frequent. It always happens when I put my full effort into a swinging motion. For example in gold when I try to kill the ball my right shoulder slips out in my backswing (I am right handed swinger). The same thing happened twice in one hour during volleyball practice when going for a spike and using all my effort. It takes the fun out of the game because I have feel so cautious about how much force to use on the ball. Im sure I can find a way to fix this by having the correct posture while in the motion and not going too hard.
Hi....I face a similar problem....in so many different angles my shoulder moves out of place, all of this suddenly started 4 yrs ago and since then I haven't been able to dance ( I am a dancer ) as with many movements they click out of place. I wanted to ask you...has your shoulder gotten better? And does your shoulder restrict you from doing movements? For me it moves out for my hips and wrist too but the tendency is less there compared to shoulder. If doing something helped you make your shoulder better please let me know
I had my 1st subluxation at 15, 2022 I'm 35. Every year I'll get around 2-3 times. It will take me around 10-15 minutes to push it back in....and it hurts so badly throughout the process and continues to hurt for 1 week. I just got use to it, nothing can be done for me at this point.
I suffer from this in my left shoulder per the PA at my Drs. Office today. I was prescribed steroids for 6 days along PT..But I am wondering if I will need surgery at some point.

I had recurring dislocation of my right shoulder that initially began with a baseball injury. Got that fixed with arthroscopic surgery, I had torn labrum. Now my left shoulder is subluxing and it happens when I fall and land on my hand or arm during soccer. It’s very painful and my shoulder will be sore for a few days. I know I’m going to need future surgery unfortunately
i'm a carpenter and right handed, both shoulders have subluxed since i can remember. Because my left hand is always holding a screw or a nail in a weird position for my hammer or drill it causes my shoulder to sublux around 3 times a day. I'm getting an ultra sound tomorrow. Hopefully thats accurate enough to show signs and in effect solutions.
Im very skinny guy, i had this for years. When i lift weights, after some reps, i can see the shoulder ball sliding and leaving a little hole on my left shoulder. I have to stop after that because i cant lift anymore and take a pause. It simply cant connect to the arm. It doesn't hurt tho, it just that i literally cant lift the weights anymore.
Idk what to do honestly, I really wanna go all out for basketball but I can’t knowing that I have shoulder problems🤦🏽♂️ I’m 16 and I really need to get my shoulder back right so I can play basketball
I have VEDS, HEDS, and POTS. I have frequent subluxations, especially in my upper back, neck, and shoulders. I cannot do traditional chiropractic treatments for relief or weights to build strength. Do you have recommendations for people like me?

My humorous slipped out of placed just walking my bike across the street, crud... never felt pain like that before, there’s more to it than that this happened 5/6 years ago and here I thought it was a torn rotator cuff.... I was thinking it kept on slipping popping out of place, that tearing feeling, because I used to baseball, lot of eating pavement, semi extreme muscle toning. For ages slipping on the stair outside and grab the rail, that doesn’t help because it happened multiple times, Before the major accident here I just think ouch and I just find a wall and wrack my upper arm.. groovy that feels better, 5 years ago I think... 57 come March... guess what, arm is completely healed on it’s own. Yep it’s healed, going for ultrasound and x-rays to look, yay 😃
I have been skipping meals to try to get rid of my beer belly. Several days now i have just eaten 1 meal per day, and i think this lack of proteins weakened some stuff in my shoulder, so a couple of days ago, after sleeping, my shoulder felt pretty bad when i woke up, and tried to move my arm from under my head and to a normal position. It wasnt still pretty mild, which made me think it was just some small injury that will heal by itself. Yesterday it had gotten maybe a little worse, but still not more than that i could grind my coffee with the hand grinder without having much second thoughts about it. Today however, it is considerably worse, and i dont think this is going to pass by itself. Guess im skipping coffee today, and having some protein shakes to help the body heal any problems in tendons and muscles. Hope i can fix this myself, because my day/night cycle is not the same as my doctor...
My right should has been subluxing for as long as I can remember. While it has never dislocated and I don't play contact sports or anything of the sort I probably should do something about it. It can be annoying when I just lift my arm and my shoulder just slips down
I've recently subluxated my shoulder and now I can't straighten my arm without being in a lot of pain. My arm also locks when I raise it to look at my watch and it hurts to unlock it. Pain killers don't really work either. I've seen a surgeon too but the pain is so bad. Not sure what to do, even touching it slightly brings a lot of pain and my whole arm as well as my hand goes numb
I have issues similar to what you described. Physio, osteo, and massage didnt help. Doctors think it may be a loose shoulder socket, which is apparently easily fixable with surgery. Waiting for an MRI to confirm though.
Hello I have under gone antirior labrum repair surgery during that subcrominal dicompression synovectomy capusectomy and bicep tendon slap tear repair done. my rotator cuff was ok .when I do sideways movement of my shoulder I hear cracking sound.alsi my shoulder slides in by making cracking noise I do not feel the pain what might be the reason it is happening
I’m dealing with my right shoulder sliding in and out of socket! Extremely painful! Trying to get seen by an Orthopedic now what can I do to get pain relief while I wait to be seen? Please advise!!!😕
I had an anterior dislocation in my left shoulder over a year ago. I recovered for the most part. But just a few hours ago, I subluxated my right shoulder when I missed a dunk and hit the rim. It bothers me so much, I just want to stay healthy. Hopefully this gets better soon
Boxing I threw out my shoulder a few years ago but i was in trouble at home and wasn’t supposed to be out so I never told my guardian and never got it treated i just left it as is to this day, that was 4 years ago
first time it happened to me when i was 12 . second time 13 . and after that it became a habit for my shoulder to pop out and pop back in .sometimes it hurts less but now it is happening so often that i think i may have permanently damaged it . i cant sleep properly ,wash properly and sometimes it even hurts when i dress .im afraid to have a surgery because im not sure if i will lose my mobility and not be able to do calisthenics anymore
well if you keep damaging it, you might not REALLY be able to do calisthenics. You should consider going to a doctor because you might be able to save your shoulder!
I had my first subluxation when I was 15 and since then 4 - 5 times it happened and I’m 19 and still my left shoulder isn’t stable whenever I’m in fight or any kinda activity I don’t find strength in their so I need a solution . Would surgery be required? I want me at my level best I couldn’t continue my martial arts cause of this... thank you..
U find any solution yet? I also loose my shoulder strength on right arm. I felt my subluxation almost one year back due to a fight maybe. I cnt hit the gym nd do my exercises well
Dear Sir I am a Physiotherapist by profession from India , Kolkata. I had right side anterior shoulder dislocation falling in outstretched hand during playing cricket. The head popped out and replaced immediately within few seconds. It was a violent collision with another fielder. There was a swelling around the joint but fully reduced with Ice. Date of Injury 18th December. X Ray was Normal. Now I m in Shoulder immobilizer. However I sometime doubt was it really dislocation or subluxation! I am a Bowler. What will be my Rehabilitation Program to go into Cricket again ? Thanks. Regards Dwaipayan Pal

I was in a car accident last year in August and my shoulder subluxes everyday throughout the day. I did physiotherapy for about 5 months and it didn’t help. I saw an orthopaedic surgeon and she’s sending me for more physiotherapy and I told her it didn’t help. I have no abnormalities on X-rays or the mri I had done. Should I get a second opinion?

Looking up stuff because I fell off my bike the other day and my shoulder keeps popping and feeling like it's coming loose. I had my knee subluxated and I know the feeling that it isn't sitting right, I should probably get it checked.
I faced shoulder subluxation. Happens 2 times. Did MRI. Report saying Hill Sach deformity. But Glenoid and Lebrum appears normal. Can physiotherapy can cure the issue?
Hi I think that I have this problem, I had my shoulder checked like 8 years ago, with MRI, the doctor says that I I have a common injury among Baseball players ( haven't played baseball in like 20 years), and it can be fixed with surgery, I didn't wanted to go that way so i did nothing, but didnt have too much pain, what I do is Obstacle course racing, and I do a lot of pull-ups to get my upper body strong to complete obstacles, I usually have this subluxation (in my right shoulder) when doing pull-ups and extending my arms all the way down, if I keep my arms a little bended it won't happen, but lately during races I end up with a lot of pain in my shoulder and feel pain trying to complete any hanging obstacles... what do you recommend..?
Think this is what I have after a accident at age 9 but now 32 and gives pain .been to the the hospital and think it's not a tear dew to the strength I have in the rotory cuff after the tests that where done . Am now waiting for the mri with the die to be done . Is this as big a problem as an rotory cuff tear or injury. Thanks
I think I might have this problem. I didn’t even know it existed so I thought my shoulder had been dislocating at the smallest of things and then just going right back into place. When I told my doctor, he kinda blew it off cuz he didn’t think it was dislocation despite me explaining that I felt it grinding into the socket and the horrible pain I’d feel. I’ll have to mention this next time and see what he thinks
I subluxed my shoulder first tiem playing a tackelimg sport while i tried to grab and tacked a guy down on the ground as soon as the first touch happend my arm was pushed to the back while being widely stretched so i could make a grip on him and it just cam out i heard some muscle cracking noise and send thing i know i was on my knees with that popped shoulder and screamed in pain and in few seconds i tried moving my hand back to the position i subluxed it and it popped back in i thought it was some muscle stretch or something and kept playing sportd until i realized i nearly popped it out for about 38 times in span of 6 months and it was terrible pain with my arm strength getting weak and slowly noticing that in my daily acgivities i saw a doctor and was advised to nkt lift my arm above the height of my dhoulder for atleast a year to let the muscles recover and after a year i got my mris done and it was all good no bone or muscle damage they sent me in for 3 months kf ohysio i did it for good 2 months and left it thought i was strkng enough amd now 3 years after that i have strength in that shoulder but i have pooped it out about 5 times since than and i have avoided gym and sports completely because of fear of loosing my arm or going into surgery idk what shiuld i do next and the reason i am here today is i just popped it out before 10 mins and i felt like looking through skme content hoping to find some help!
I have had a subluxation from softball as a right handed batter. I have not been able to do much swinging for over 5 years. I have continued to lift weights and play sports and my left shoulder does not have much pain, but it is weak and can feel it move from time to time, when externally rotating it during activities. It bothers me everyday and strengthening is not working. Unfortunately I’m not able to take time off for surgery due to physical demands of work.
Sadly it started on my right shoulder then on my left but my right is the worst to the point where when it happens i can't feel or move my arm for a few seconds. Or i can make my should sublux and it's annoying and scary to my teammates. I've went to the hospital and they said " there's nothing we can do" ... I want to do that test you spoke about. I have taken precautions like stopping sport for a while and no more gym lifting due to my cartilage in my shoulder and collerbone area cracking / rubbing constantly to the point where if i flex it's like cracking my knuckle ls but in the area i said above. Anyhow if you read this what steps aside from my regular doctor who told me to do light weight lifting to regain strength. Cause that shit ain't working lol
Got surgery on my right shoulder two years ago for a labrum tear from playing rugby ... thought I was in the clear until two months ago when I dislocated my left shoulder while playing rugby. Now both of them are sublaxing and all I can do is tighten my shoulder brace until the season ends and I can look at surgery options.
I was in a front end collision 2 months ago. I had extreme weakness in my left arm at the ER. Soon after started physical therapy and learned I had probably subluxed my shoulder in the accident. After 3 MRIs no tears or structural damage was found. But I still can’t lift my arm above shoulder height and the head of my humerus pulls away from my labrum at least 15 times per day. Considering this surgery now because I’ve had enough. It’s too painful/:
Was playing cricket yesterday, had this happen but I didn’t stop and it happened heaps more times, over a 2 hour period, while I was batting, now it’s really sore and I’m in a sling the next day
I think i subluxated my right shoulder. I was trying to reach something beside (slightly behind) me while seating but i couldnt quite reach it so I stretched my arm to reach it but since that day my shoulder feels a bit tense but no pain. its lot mobile now but still a bit stiff compares to my left shoulder. Is this something to worry about and will it comeback on its own?
I had a subluxation in my left shoulder almost 5 years ago , since then I’ve gotten a few MRIs and received physical therapy , spent countless hours in the gym working to rehabilitate it myself and had to buy a side sleeping pillow because the pain was so bad . I’ve never been told what the problem is , now I don’t have constant pain , but my left trap seems to be nonexistent and the left shoulder seems to be constantly shrugged , tight and weak. I don’t really know what else to do as I’ve consulted specialists . one of the only things that has helped has been dry needling and sports massage to the area. To me this seems like an impingement , something getting pinched. Would love to fix this issue for good ! Any advice would be amazing !
Try best orthopedic in ur town. He will suggest you surgery otherwise you will develop osteoartiritis as every time it gets displaced there is bone loss.
I get it in both shoulders but mostly the right. I find it happens most with sudden or unexpected movements. I was trying to help my balance on a skate board by putting my arms out/abducting and while focusing mostly on footwork, my shoulder just suddenly gives out and then i wiped out. Today I was playing hockey outside and hit a rough spot on the ice. Again trying to use my arms and body to adjust my weight so that I wouldn't fall down, my shoulder suddenly pops. Yet I can do 50 push ups , do overhead presses , bench press, etc with 0 subluxation and little to no pain. It's a strange thing for sure. Trying to determine the direct motion that causes the majority of my issue
Mine pops out the most when I’m drunk so I have to stop drinking. When I lead a healthy lifestyle w exercise and nutrition it happens way less or not at all. When the muscles are relaxed and my arm gets the wrong motion it slips. It’s a shame I’ve got so good at getting it back in🤦🏽♂️ but if u do take drugs and alcohol just know there’s a big chance it’ll be very lose in those moments
I have this on my left shoulder and usually doesn’t bother me as much but lately I must’ve done something to it because it’s really trying to slip out at least two or three times a day and I woke up this morning and I thought it was actually dislocated it had I don’t know whether I’ve rested so soundly that it just slipped out when I woke up I had to move my arm around and try to get it to slip back in it’s very painful to you I live in Northeast Missouri and I think I’m gonna have to find an ortho doc.
Two day's ago I heard a snap from my shoulder while I was on my bed and since after that I am having difficulty moving my hand and pain is constantly there. What to do?
I have Ehlers-Danos syndrome and most of my major joints pop out of place just whenever. I went to physical therapy for about 8 weeks it helped out a lot to make sure that I don't dislocate as often as I used to. But subluxed joints are annoying
My first chiropractor thought I might have had eds but others I've seen have said no. I don't have any of the hyperflexibility symptoms but just a lot of cracking throughout my body when moving. (doesn't mean I'm still paranoid about possibly having it...) Especially in my shoulders. How would you know if it's a subluxated joint or just cracking? Like my shoulder cracks fairly often and they feel very unstable.
I went to the ER last night and the Dr. Said I had a Hill Sachs deformity. I've never had a total dislocation. I absolutely cannot lift my arm , it feels like a strong rubber band is pulling it back towards me. Anyway I have a appointment with a bone dr, and hopefully know more.
I actually used TRX straps at my gym and tried doing chest flies where I leaned toward, putting all my weight forward and opening my arms and my left shoulder popped out of place and a second later popped back in, initially it didn’t hurt, I just stopped using the straps and it scared me more than anything. But days later it’s like a constant little bit of popping and moving around. I hope I didn’t really mess anything up. Hopefully it will recover on its own in a while? Not too sure. Was just an accident from possibly doing the exercise incorrectly
I had an incident about 4 days ago where I didn’t re-rack an incline barbell properly on the right and it fell back, took my arm back with it and my shoulder popped out, when I sat up it went straight back in. Feels ok, a bit achey and sore with full range of motion. Sound similar?
@@ollyarcadia yes definitely. Days later it’s sore after a workout but nothing how it was a few days ago. I’m able to sleep on it without it hurting and it’s not making strange popping noises like it was the first two days
Happened to me just now as I was about to do my daily push ups(safe to say i didn’t do any gym work ) Like my shoulder popped out then 5 seconds later it popped back in I was freaking out
My right shoulder does not sit still like my left and my right shoulder blade in the inner bottom corner gets pain inside like a pinched nerve. I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it
I’ve dislocated my shoulder 2 times (1st time lifting 2nd time in football) couple months later I recover (at least I think) I’m benching 2 plates getting all this muscle and feeling good but then I get an MRI. MRI says that I “have a partially torn labrum. I eventually get surgerey do the rehab for etc for abt 8 months, get cleared by the doctor for football, I go back to football and on the 2nd week on hitting I go for a tackle and extend my arm that had surgery and SNAP!! It’s out again.💔 it’s depressing honestly I still cry sometimes cuz I try to find videos lol everyday to find a that “VIDEO” that cures my pain but my shoulder just keeps snapping. And it’s like I could lift and actually when I do get the blood flow in my shoulder I don’t feel pain . After I rest and let my shoulder sit for a while it gets stiff and just wants to crack like a bitch 😕
Hey I had a motorbike accident and my shoulder is subluxed and the muscles appear to be torn. I keep my arm in a sling but I don't see or feel like I'm getting better.

I deal with subluxations pretty often. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and deal with different things that sublux often.
I suffered a hard fall on my sloped driveway after hitting ice one winter. It pretty much felt like a slam dunk wrestling style going down hard on my R. shoulder and shoulder blade. Had injections didn't help went to a Bone and joint Dr. and he said no tears but you do have bursitis. I had seen this Dr. 6 months before the fall and that was the same Diagnosis. Had regular x-rays and no broken bones but the feeling of subluxation is so prevalent. Severe pain, numbness of my right arm, pain in the right bicep, right scapula and entire shoulder area feels like it's clunking whenever I am doing something. Pain travels under the right collar bone and up the right side of my neck. It's been 3 and a half months and it's just getting worse. So far I they say do exercises but I can't even move the arm in any direction without numbness and pain throughout . Can't sleep on the right or the left due to positioning of the right shoulder, when on my back numbing pain on the right shoulder blade...which evidently protrudes some with certain movement of the R. arm and shoulder. See the next Neurologist/sports medicine Dr at the hospital in June 2022. I think I need an MRI to see if there is a subluxation of the area mentioned. I trying to get a 15 degree abduction sling for sleeping to stabilize my are so I can sleep. Nothing worse than being so tired and sore and have to sleep like your on a bed of spikes. 😫 A real torture in any case.
Hi I suffer from spontaneous sprains, I do not play regular sports so I do not know why it happened. I have been in physiotherapy for over half a year and I do not see any improvement, on the contrary the situation is getting worse, I am 14 years old and I do not think that appropriate surgery currently has other recommendations?
I had what I believe to be a dislocation is 2005 while pressing aft (hand behind my body pushing). After more than a decade I was diagnosed with shoulder instability with both voluntary and (less frequently) involuntary subluxation. Aside from rotator cuff exercises (beneficial, I’m sure, but no noticed difference for me) I have found that simply training proper posture, learning scapular control and placement, and serratus anterior exercise has done worlds of benefits for me. Stick with it. Your body is really, really cool. Odds that you actually need surgery are likely low.
Thanks Ryan!
I had labrum surgery in 2017. It was my senior year in HS. I went through physical therapy and felt thought it helped. Until fall semester of my freshman year in college. I dislocated my shoulder and ever since then I have had multiple (probably 50+) subluxations. Went back to my orthopedic surgeon back home during the summer of 2019 and had MRI done and he just recommended exercises, even though though there were still tears and scarring. Never went back to him cause I didn’t find that very helpful. After my shoulder has a subluxation, it’ll be sore for the next 3-5 days and it’ll feel better until it happens again. It sucks having to live like this especially when you love to play sports and be active.
Demetrio Garcia count your blessings man.. at least it’s not both shoulders like me 😂😂
Dude I can relate so hard to this. Been dealing with it for a few years now just don’t have the money for an MRI. I figured once I got one though they would for sure recommend surgery. I hope they do anyway. It hurts so bad when it pops out and goes back in I hate it
I’m a sophomore in high school and this sucks. I have dreams and goals in sports and there’s nothing I can do
Same thing happens to me, and it is really holding me back.
Work work work as hard as u can stretching and building ur shoulder muscles. Knee push ups and arm circles are some easy things that really target that shoulder. I have this too and don’t have much money so building that shoulder muscle is the best thing for me. Hope this helps!! Blessing to you’ll!!
I was born with bilateral talipes 35 years back in my legs, underwent surgery that was not so successful, fought hard and won it. in 2012 met with an accident that dislocated my right arm, since then 3 times subluxation in the same arm, sometimes feel why me , why all these to me!!! But something always says in the back of my head 'you are a fighter'.. I will win this too!!!! On the contrast what will make me to win this more than hardwork is patience and consciousness with which I handle my arm henceforth !
Unfortunately I suffer from this in my left shoulder. Sometimes it this happens simply by stretching or reaching backwards. My left shoulder and arm become unusable for several minutes. A couple of times I have woke up in the middle of the night to find it has slide out of place.
My sublux is due to a stroke I'm having nerve test done at the request of a surgeon I'm praying he can repair muscle loss what are your thoughts on this it's very painful 4 yrs of therapy didnt work
Shannon Hester are they saying it’s because of muscle weakness?
Do you have heds?
Hello @Jlong I have the same issue in my left shoulder. I see your reply is from 3 years ago, hopefully you get to see this. I just want to know if you’ve found a permanent solution to the problem? Thank you.
Actually I HAD SUBLUXATION for my LH and RH before. Now its totally, PERFECTLY GOING WELL like my old days. TIP is , u can find some traditional massage therapy (especially in INDIA, KERALA known as KALARI THIRUMMAL TREATMENT)
to heal the dislocation problems. The BIGGEST ADVANTAGE is, u dont have to go for SURGERY. GIVE A TRY!!!
About 3 years ago I had discovered that I could very easily “pop” multiple joints such as my shoulder, hips, etc. in and out of place. I used it as a “party trick,” scaring people and grossing them out, for approximately a year, but then had stopped. A year after stopping, I had an incident on my right shoulder with my backpack. The bag weighed my shoulder down and I felt an intense pop. I eventually went to a doctor and they said that my shoulder has muscles and tendons like noodles, due to how streatched our and overused they are. I went to physical therapy for 6 months, after having several opinions from numerous doctors. I had a few X-rays along with an MRI, but nothing came up, besides and abundant amount of laxity. My shoulder always feels out of place. I am going back to the one doctor, however, I don’t know if they’ll want to do surgery. They said it will result in frozen shoulder which they said is more painful than the current state. Sorry for writing so much.
I forgot to mention, about two months ago, the muscles started going in and out of spasm which lasts anywhere from 1 minute to 3 hours.
Have you been checked by a rheumatologist for Ehlers Danlos?
@@katwar2514 I was going to suggest the same thing! I have hypermobile EDS and this sounds just like it.
Hi....I face a similar problem....in so many different angles my shoulder moves out of place, all of this suddenly started 4 yrs ago and since then I haven't been able to dance ( I am a dancer ) as with many movements they click out of place. I wanted to ask you...has your shoulder gotten better? And does your shoulder restrict you from doing movements? For me it moves out for my hips and wrist too but the tendency is less there compared to shoulder
I've had this condition since i was 16 im now 31 and still deal with it. I was very athletic and into sports before it happened. Basically all I had was my physical attributes, so when it first happened to me it felt like i was stripped of everything. Its very hard to deal with especially if you were an athlete.
Are you atill into sports
Yes I'm into sports
@@contentofinteresttv6286 so does this happen frequently?
Wow! I thought I’d had it bad putting up with it for 5 years. Finally decided to priorities my Heath over career. Thank god whether it’s physio or surgery it’s basically free to have done. Hope yours goes well
@@farranhartshorne8241 yoy did surgery??
I race motorcycles. In 1974, I developed a left shoulder subluxation. I saw an orthopedic doctor and he advised surgery. It would cost $5,000 and I was a broke single parent going to college full-time and that amount of money was not happening. While studying in the library one day, I decided to get a book on kinesiology and see what the problem with my shoulder could be. After studying the book for several days and resourcing a few other books, I decided to develop a rehabilitation program for my shoulder, and I was very successful. I still race motorcycles and my program worked so well that after 4 months, I stopped the program and I have had no issues with my shoulder since. A racing acquaintance had the same issue, and I gave my program to him, and he had the same result as I did.
What is the program??
Can you share the program? I’m in a similar situation
Hey Man, I am a Motocross racer and I had a pretty bad crash. I also fear problems like those to develop, so maybe you could share your program. Would be very helpful
found this an hour after undergoing a shoulder subluxation during BJJ. Thank you very much!
It happened to me 2 years ago which is 6 month before I started bjj and I started feeling extreme pain after competing in world pro but I decided to go on anyways since I had a nogi competition which was just a few days later for cash prize in which I got 3rd and then I found a good place to train but I also went to visit a doctor to redo my mri since it’s been 2 years already and he said that the labral tear is still there but I kept going anyways and my plan was to do the surgery after world pro which is in November and sadly it subluxed again today and I’m meant to compete next month this is super frustrating
Is it normal now?
Same! Been Googling looking for advice. Mine popped out and went straight back in. Excruciating.
Just did mine a second time at my bjj gym straight back from taking time off from doing it the first time.
Man, I knew we had a connection, now I know what the connection is after I spotted that LFC Gear in the background. You will never walk alone.
Both me and my son suffer subluxations with many joints.. we both have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.. My son can use his arms when they sublux or dislocate.. me on the other hand can’t..
Me too. I sublux multiple joints 20+ times a day.
Yes this eds variety is the constant issue I’m dealing with last 5 years
I have EDS and my shoulders sublux all the time. I’m at the point that I chose which side I sleep on, knowing that shoulder will bother me all the next day. :(. I think it’s time to see my pain management specialist and get an MRI and probably do PT.
@@ASLCindyAnderson I’m under pain management team. My Dr Is lovely. I have a good physio too for me and my son. I have to relocate my son’s shoulder most night because he sleeps in the weirdest positions.
Happened to me 10 years ago when I was 14 and got in a fight. My left shoulder just went out, popped it back in and continued. But since then it’s popped out numerous times even when swimming. Just recently popped out again this week after a few years of it not happening. Arm goes numb and tender for days afterwards. Just something I’ve learned to live with and be careful.
Shite, sounds similar to me. I *thought* that it first happened to me while I was playing soccer at around age 15. I slammed my shoulder into the goalpost and it hurt like hell . . . but then I didn't think about it until one day (I don't remember exactly when, but I was older-possibly 18 or more) when I was reaching for something from the driving seat of my little car into the back seat, it popped out and was the most *excruciating* pain I'd ever had! It seemed to lock, and it seemed like the entire head was out because when I put my other hand around it it was completely abnormal-feeling.
I tried somehow to push it back in and I slowly rotated my arm VERY carefully and all of a sudden it popped back in! What a relief-I could have screamed for joy! But then for at least a week it felt like someone very big had punched me as hard as they could fifty times in the shoulder . . . it was a different kind of excruciating.
Then, over the years, if ever I did something un-normal like reach behind me and pull out it would come . . . I was very fearful of it one day not going back in again and indeed, sometimes it lasted up to a minute (but seemed like an hour) but each time it always went back.
Fast forward to my late 20s . . . (I'll finish this later as I have to go do something)
Actually I HAD SUBLUXATION for my LH and RH before. Now its totally, PERFECTLY GOING WELL like my old days. TIP is , u can find some traditional massage therapy (especially in INDIA, KERALA known as KALARI THIRUMMAL TREATMENT)
to heal the dislocation problems. The BIGGEST ADVANTAGE is, u dont have to go for SURGERY. GIVE A TRY!!!
@@kamakirinoko Thankfully mine is not as painful after it occurs. It's happened 4 times in my life, and at first, it is very painful, I tense up and wince, and then it goes back in and I get some relief. It is sore that evening, but then the next day it is just like I got a vaccination in my shoulder. I initially got the injury when I was 16 doing improper benching form. I would be interested in hearing the rest of your story, if you remember what you were going to say. I am going to physio later tonight to get exercises to strengthen the capsule, but perhaps I will need surgery.
@@sakalaath Heh . . . it's been a while, but I *think* I was going to say that it began to become much easier to pop out-but NO less painful. And it would always be that thoughtless **reaching behind me** and pulling at the same time. Suffice to say, I NEVER do that any more!
But flash forward to the middle of my 60s, and while it had been a while since my shoulder came out, a different feeling began to overtake it . . . it began to hurt, at first occasionally, then later, much, much worse. I had no idea what was happening to me, but my whole shoulder began to become stiff. Then, bizarrely, it became impossible to lift my arm past a certain point!
I learned through the beginning miracle of the Internet (it was around 2000) that I had a delightful condition called Adhesive Capsulitis, or "Frozen Shoulder." (Google, please!) This was a horror that apparently could only be solved by "manipulation under anesthesia," a little procedure which I decided to FOREGO. Instead, I had to wait about a YEAR for it to go away.
And the bizarre horror is that your comment finds me suspecting greatly that EXACTLY the same thing has begun happening to my LEFT shoulder! When I began feeling the pain in the shoulder I didn't remember my bout with Frozen Shoulder, but it's all coming back to me now . . . in more ways than one!!
I got a xray they said my shoulder was noy broken , but It dislocates on a daily basis, I don’t know what to next
Around 17, I started experiencing very mild subluxation during taking big shots, extreme shoulder movements while playing cricket, always ignored it, considering it nothing. I am 24, I experienced strong subluxation while playing badminton and it got settled by its own, but I lost my shoulder and arm strength.
The apprehension is always there, you tend to live with fear of subluxing it again. The sports medicine person checked MRI and told I have a condition called HYPERLAXITY and all is fine but I randomly had tingling sensations and fatigue pain, loss of strength. Now, after 1st stroke I again experienced the trauma a week before and now I am planning to go for a very much experienced doc and an MR arthrogram to know the shit going inside my shoulder. Sad life!
If it's possible for you to go to Chennai, then I suggest you to meet Dr. Nobin Chetry (an Ortho-surgeon) since he's the only person who fixed my right shoulder
I was suffering from shoulder dislocation since 2008....went to many places for treatment including Patna....bt all in vain. Bt finally I was so lucky to have met him in 2018....and he treated me very well and now my shoulder is way far better than earlier
I've had the exact same problem playing badminton... sadly it's still not fixed. I've had 2 MRI's one being the arthogram and they found nothing.
Hi....I face the same problem....in so many different angles my shoulder moves out of place, all of this suddenly started 4 yrs ago and since then I haven't been able to dance ( I am a dancer ) as with many movements they click out of place. I wanted to ask you...has your shoulder gotten better? And does your shoulder restrict you from doing movements? For me it moves out for my hips and wrist too but the tendency is less there compared to shoulder. If doing anything in particular helped you please let me know.
I had a couple shoulder injuries in my 20s which was 39 yrs ago. The MRI didn't show anything wrong so I did PT for 6 no but it would still roll out at times. My physical therapist did research and did a stretch test on it and the whole shoulder kinda came apart. He said you need to see your surgeon. I went to my surgeon and showed him how to do the test and not only did my shoulder do the same thing something else moved that time. He went in to do surgery and when I woke up he told me my labrum was detached in 2 places that couldn't be fixed and that I was unstable frontwards backwards and down and basically I was screwed. He didn't tell me that they had to move it all around during surgery to find that out. He said he cleaned up a piece of cartridge that was unattached,and hoped that was what I was as feeling move. I knew then it was the extra thing that moved when he did the second stretch test, and it wasn't going to be better. It was so much worse and so incredibly loose from the manipulations he did while I was under. I would wake up every morning with the bone moving in and out of the socket. It was unbelievable painful and I'm a hairdresser. I found Dr dillingham at Stanford and because the first surgeon only debrided and didn't even try to repair he saw me way before the yr I would have had to wait a yr. He had an MRT done which he said was an MRI in motion. He went in orthoscopically and repaired my labrum with suretack and shrunk up all my soft tissue with radio waves. It was the most painful recovery of my life but I was pain free and stable for 10 yrs. Then I had a baby and it rolled again. I probably should have done PT and waited for my hormones to go back to normal so my joints weren't loose to allow for the baby. Hindsight, Dr dillingham did an open capsule surgery where he cut and tightened the tendon and ligament and attached them with screws. It's been stable ever since but I was never truly pain free again. Now I'm in my 50s and took a fall. My good shoulder was hurting and the MRI showed a labrural tear. The physical therapist added some pretty extreme stretches on top of the strengthening exercises. Since that day it has been much more painful. Dr dillingham had said my right shoulder was the worst he'd ever seen. I asked him how that was possible being he's the 49er team surgeon. He kinda chuckled and said "people like you don't make it to the pros" after the pt appointment where he stretched it out I refused to go back until the Ortho says what needs to be done because if I continue to let him stretch it I believe he could cauz it to get much worse. After watching your video I'm pretty sure I made the right call
Got this problem when i was 15yo. Tackled during a soccer game. I was admitted to a hospital and had to fast for about 20 hours (more or less). Eventually, the orthopedic doc came and told me that i do not need a surgery as i was only 15yo that time. They told me that its a shoulder dislocation, but i do not think it is a dislocation. Iam 31 now. It does not come out of the socket where requires me to push it back in, but more like a strange feeling of the bone coming out from the socket n goes back in by itself, for example when i smash hard while playing badminton or throwing something with full force using my shoulder. Thus far, i've experienced this for about 5 times. Eventually, i came across a video demostrating particular exercises to strenghten the rotator cuff. Been working out for quite some time now and i dont get the shoulder bone poping out anymore, but im still controling my sholder or arm movements as i can feel that the shoulder bone poping out could happen if i use too much force from my shoulder. Lastly, from what i have learned, as we get older, the risk of shoulder bone poping out will increaseand it is prudent to control the range of motion of the shoulder joint. If u keep getting your shoulder bone pop out, eventually, u will need surgery. Sorry for the long post.
Syam Flak I know I’m very late. But do you happen to know the video that helped you out?
This happened to me again today for the 3rd or 4th time in my lifetime. First time it happened after i got into a fight and it popped, i put it back and after 20 minutes it popped out again and i had it placed back myself. Today i was doing bench press with 85kg over my chest and it popped out a bit, luckily spotter helped me not to get seriously injured. I'm not quiet sure what to do, i had broken humerus on this left arm 2 years ago and i had a surgery for it, and that is probably the reason why my musles and w/e got weaker around that shoulder and eventually popped. I will probably start taking some rehab exercises to strenghten the shoulder even more, since last time i failed to do so seems like. Feels very depressing and my morale dropped insanely after todays event but feels better after reading all these comments
I have had 1 incident of shoulder subluxation in the gym on the row machine, was quite a heavy weight towards the end of a session and as i was moving the handle from my chest back to the machine my shoulder popped out and popped straight back in within 1 second. Ever since my left shoulder has felt unstable, a little weak and i have had achy symptoms in my shoulder and down my arm for months now. Have started physio and are seeing improvements but will have to wait it out. The ache i get is by far the worst symptom, rather than instability and a little weakness.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I fell down onto a hard surface and caught myself in a side plank nearly 10 years ago. I’m pretty sure that was the moment it either dislocated or subluxated. It was pretty damn painful for a while afterwards. For awhile I only got shoulder pain on occasion once it healed.
It regularly falls partially out of the socket nowadays, and it’s extremely startling and painful every time. I thought it only happened when I reached up and back. Until recently when it slid out while leaning forward and resting my weight on folded arms on the floor.
I had one MRI done and they didn’t see anything abnormal which was absolutely devastating at the time. I know there’s something wrong with it. I just don’t know what the next step is toward proving it.
I broke my right radius 7 years ago, and have suffered issues with my right shoulder from then to this date. My shoulder 'clunks' out and back in very aggressively when I raise my arm up and back, or trying to reach my back, occasionally even when just putting a high load on it. I used to be a heavy vehicle and machinery mechanic, and had to leave the field behind due to this issue. Occasionally even the angle I lay on to sleep pops my shoulder out. I'm seeing a physio, they've confirmed it's subluxation, also CT scans show bursitis. Physio it helps but it's still pretty bad, just hurts less. The muscle from my rotator cuff to the bottom of my shoulder blade is extremely tough and I suffer a loss on sensation throughout.
I've had both shoulders stabilized with anchors, and donor ligaments put in my knees due to EDS hypermobility. Went through physical therapy before and after each surgery. Now I need a total shoulder replacement but since I'm only 45, the surgeon won't give me one yet since they only last about 10 years. Life with chronic pain is just not fun
Anchors and donor ligaments weren't helpful?
@@iamHDR it's better than it was before surgery. No more dislocations or bursitis, but still sore and stiff often
About 6 years ago I took an unfortunate tumble while roller blading and my shoulder was shoved forward. Obviously it was extremely painful but I didn’t go to the doctors (which I regret). The next day I noticed with certain movements my shoulder would slide and pop and each pop would be extremely painful. I dealt with that for about a year before going to the doctors. After that I did therapy for about a month, quit since it didn’t help, and then went to another therapist for three months, and finally I went to another doctor who suggested surgery since therapy wasn’t helping. So about two years after my injury, I did the surgery and they tightened things up. The one thing they told me about the surgery was to be extremely careful during recovery, as to not undo it, and to also be warned that they could tighten it too much. However afterwards, my shoulder was fine for about a year. Unfortunately it’s reverted back to its previous state of popping and sliding out so much that I can grab my shoulder and move the bone. I’ll be going back to the doctors in a week to see if there are anymore options!
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Since November 2018 I have experienced 3 subluxations for sure, but possibly 4 in less than 4 months. I have swam for years until a chronic back condition made me slow down and have been in and out of the water for a few years. The first subluxation happened when I was in physical therapy for my back doing a stretch, the second was by me brushing my hair, and the third by sliding my shower curtain closed. the possible fourth time I was probably out of range for my shoulder. As soon as the first subluxation we have been rehabbing my shoulder so since November 20, 2018 and it is still popping out. MRI showed no major damage, my bicep tendon was cut from a previous surgery (swim injury) and the MRI only revealed that my labrum is blunting. Therapist is getting concerned since my pain has been increasing dramatically just since my last subluxation on 2/3/19. We don't know of many options left surely with rehabbing it for over 3 months it shouldn't be sliding out so easily.
You might do some research on Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.. I have this and what you're describing sounds very similar. It is basically a connective tissue disorder.
@@AllisonBroyles Crazy I just saw this! I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with hEDS. My therapist shared his suspicions of me having it soon after I had shoulder stabilization surgery because my shoulder was basically more out of place than in. After a casual conversation bringing up my crazy shoulder motion, I was like that's not the only super bendy part of my body. Waited forever to see a geneticist and even when my appointment came is was odd because of COVID-19 and became a telehealth appointment. Since I was also told I have arthritis in my lumbar spine so it has just been so crazy and I have found I need time to process everything.
Man you hit my injury on the head. I always say it dislocates in my sleep and i roll over and it pops back in. Or i let my arm hang loose and i feel it slide and man does that hurt pain i have never felt before and i have had my rotator repaired before on this same shoulder by an excellent surgeon. There was no labral tear at the time of surgery. I am a wrestler and jiujitsu blackbelt. Its life altering but i don't want to go through another surgery they are hell. Recovery sucks . What should i do ? I know MRI but aside from that I am starting exercises for shoulder disclocations and rotator cuff tears. Best I can do for now. Great video you killed it.
Please update me! I have the same problem waking up and its out then pops back in after letting it hang and it and did it while i was fighting too. How can i reduce the pain?
How is it going for both of you guys?
My shoulder strayed as sublux due to stroke now is r4 in hes out of socket been like this 4 yrs it's very painful seeing a surgeon now who is willing to take a look hopefully repair
I’m just trying to fig out what’s wrong with my shoulder I feel like it might be subluxation
any update?

This injury just happened to Steph Curry! Thanks for the detailed breakdown Doc!
I had my first sublux back in 2018 and it hurt a bit, I had waited about a week before I start full training again. after this, it would happen again around every six or so weeks whenever I would move my arm quickly above and behind my head. since then I have lost count as to how many times it has happened, it's so common it doesn't even hurt anymore and its been getting worse I can hardly lean back over a chair with my arms up without worrying that it going to come out. I had physio for a long while and it helped a bit but not enough. I had to quit gymnastics because of it. all in all, they are annoying because they don't really warrant an opp but they are bad enough to stop you doing what you want to things you used to be able to do.
Did it get anyway better it's too difficult to continue sports in such situation.
I don't know how to get it better pls guide me if u know
I think this is partly what's happening with me. Around two years ago I started having achiness in my shoulder. At the time I was doing a lot of crochet so I was stuck in one position for hours at a time, probably in a bad posture. Then I had two events of extreme pain when moving my arm quickly (once to reach out, once to swat a fly). The pain was so bad it almost took me to the floor. Then I started noticing really bad restrictions in my range of motion. And I have since narrowed it down to several things: I can't fully externally and internally rotate my arm, I can't raise my arm without my entire shoulder lifting and my traps engaging, my subscapularis is locked, I have knots in all my muscles surrounding my shoulder blade, I have some atrophy of the deltoids, and when I get a massage I notice that I can feel a kind of slipping going on in my shoulder when she gently manipulates my arm away from my body. This slipping also occurs at home. It's not painful when it happens but it is definitely disconcerting. It really is a mess. And no, I have not had any imaging done. Other than physical therapy and massage, I think the only thing they could do for me is surgery and I don't believe in surgery unless it's for a life-saving procedure. I can move and I can function... but my thought that this was just a frozen shoulder that would correct itself in a year or two is gone.
im going to try the atg system and see if it works for me im still gonna get imaging done the reason why i hesitated is because of my doctor i don't like her at all honestly i wish i had another doctor
I dislocated my shoulder in June of 2021, had my first subluxation today, I can still do normal things but certain positions hurt, hopefully I heal this
How u doin now
@@turf9131 i had another dislocation a year ago but now I am doing good, just got to be careful with fully extended arm
I can tell you absolutely love what you do. Very informative video!
I have had many subluxations and dislocations to not just my shoulders but also to my wrists, elbows, hips, and knees. I've done physical therapy but to be honest it doesn't really help.
Surgery is bout the only thing an u can't be to active after too it sucks ass once it happens
I had it for 6 times in a period of 2 months and my doctor strongly suggested an operation.
Hi David , by shoulder subluxed Today unfortunately. I have had surgery before on my shoulder because I had several dislocations every month
had to take ambulance to the emergency room several times a month so they did surgery on me .
And I have a personal trainee now to strengthen my shoulder muscles.
the shoulder is much better now, that’s why I was so afraid today when it happend, I was thinking “ not again “
But after a few minutes the shoulder popped back into place on its own , what a relief, so I guess it was a subluxation instead of a dislocation.
previously I had to be sedated by drugs to be able to relax to get the shoulder back In place , one time I had to go under general anaesthesia .
I was just stretching my arms behind my back , that’s when it happened .
So probably the surgery worked to get the shoulder more stabil so it won’t dislocate again, but I’m still not completely well when my shoulder subluxed today .
Do you know if that’s a common thing even after surgery that the shoulder can sublux?
I had surgery last summer , today was first time after my surgery that the shoulder almost dislocated again .
I was scared when it happened, wondering if I had to go the emergency room again. The pain was there but not that extreme pain I felt on previous occasions.
Thanks for the video David , really informative.

I have Ehlers-Danlos, and my shoulders are extremely hypermobile. I'll use my arm (singular) as a pillow, lying back on my elbow. I used to pop my shoulders apart to squeeze into tight dresses. One time I had a full dislocation just from taking my jacket off - that time I went to the ER. My PT helped me strengthen the muscles, but it's futile when every joint in your body is like this. Heck, sometimes my shoulder will come apart during my PT exercises, and my useless arm clatters to the floor. I hope they find a cure eventually..
My shoulder and knee both do it randomly from accidents I've had and its extremely painful. I have been trying to strengthen both but overworking it causes it as well. :( A tense swing at the batting cages took my shoulder out today after 2 month pain free with working out. Time to see the doc :/
I’m going for surgery soon about it. I’ve been suffering for 8 years, and I can’t deal with it anymore. It’s straining my neck so much. I’ve got a 7mm sublaxation and it’s moving forward also, damaging my posture. I live in China so language is a barrier but I’m struggling with the pain and management. 7 years of gym, rehab just couldn’t cut it!
I have a connective tissue disorder and have had several slight subluxations that don't show up on any xrays. So they have never been addressed because they don't believe that I subulaxed because it's not fully dislocated. It's like those old dolls or action figures that had their joints held together with rubber bands. Pull it out goes right back in ,so only deep tissue damage or torn ligaments are the diagnosis. I have gotten instability in my fingers, hand, wrist, SI joints , hips, knees, ankles, toes, arches, and shoulder.
My left houlderbeen sliding in and out all the time multiple times a hour. Went to a physical therapist but they said its fine. It mostly happens when i don’t expect. When muscles engage its not popping out
I think you're on to something there. I have the same issue. When muscles are engaged it doesn't seem to be an issue at all which explains why I can usually exercise, lift weights with no issue. Sudden/ unexpected / involuntary movements is 99% the issue
i had a tear in my left LAT muscle 2 years ago that was diagnosed though a mri arthrogram and did physical therapy for it and then returned about 6 months later due to soreness and that “loose” feeling. I was told by one of the therapists that my LAT muscle was so tight it popped the ball partially out of the socket at all times. at that time i experienced minor subluxations (or at least what i think are subluxations). after physical therapy i still thought i was experiencing these subluxations and thought it was normal. now almost a year later i experience shoulder subluxations daily especially when relaxing it while riding my horse (casual rides where i am able to rest one arm but the movement of the horse would make it subluxate), carry something heavy with one arm, and when i hold my arm out and pull against something. The subluxations are not too painful but when i am riding and it goes in and out multiple times it makes my shoulder quite sore and can be painful.
I subluxed my shoulder hundreds of times intentionally in my early 20’s because I thought it felt like a relief after I did it not knowing what was wrong with my shoulder. years later I realized that was harming my body but fortunately after the mri I only had a small labrum tear. That being said if you have a sublux every now and then it does not mean “ohh I immediately have to get an mri because my shoulder subluxed” just do external rotation and scapula excercises and you’ll be good I didn’t even need surgery for mine and I continue to lift heavy weights at the gym, I do wonder if I could be stronger if I had the surgery but regardless I can do everything I need to do except for barbell squats
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I did my right shoulder in as a kid chipped rotator cuff had to get surgery which didn't really work. Now i just did this to my left at the driving range in my backswing.. I cant afford insurance so pt is my only option, just hoping im not screwed for life now.
I think I subluxed my shoulder yesterday which is why I'm looking at these videos. I was doing a bench press with dumbbells and at the end of the set it popped out backwards and then went back in when I dropped the weight to my side. Aches a little bit but feels fine, ant suggestions on what I should do - only 15 and love sport so don't want it happening often.
Best advice is, don't wait till it gets worse, get it checked ASAP, find someone who doesn't guess, instead really assess
Same thing happened to me a few days ago but it was because I failed to re-rack the incline barbell properly and my right arm kept going back, shoulder popped out and in, still have full range of motion 4 days later but it is a bit achey. What happened to you after your accident man?
That is literally what happened today except I was doing shoulder press and when locking out my left arm it happened and with my shoulder slightly popped out the arm just fell and the dumbell fell right on my thigh, and now at night there is mild pain
Any updates?
When I was 8 I slept on my hole body wrong and I can subluxation my shoulders my foot near my thigh area and my neck has been hurting and it has been hurting in those area and this video helped.
It started when I was 15 doing gymnastics and I feel has slowly gotten more frequent. It always happens when I put my full effort into a swinging motion. For example in gold when I try to kill the ball my right shoulder slips out in my backswing (I am right handed swinger). The same thing happened twice in one hour during volleyball practice when going for a spike and using all my effort. It takes the fun out of the game because I have feel so cautious about how much force to use on the ball. Im sure I can find a way to fix this by having the correct posture while in the motion and not going too hard.

I had my 1st subluxation at 15, 2022 I'm 35. Every year I'll get around 2-3 times. It will take me around 10-15 minutes to push it back in....and it hurts so badly throughout the process and continues to hurt for 1 week. I just got use to it, nothing can be done for me at this point.
My left shoulder just sublaxed for the first time and my right shoulder can dislocate..
I suffer from this in my left shoulder per the PA at my Drs. Office today. I was prescribed steroids for 6 days along PT..But I am wondering if I will need surgery at some point.

I had recurring dislocation of my right shoulder that initially began with a baseball injury. Got that fixed with arthroscopic surgery, I had torn labrum. Now my left shoulder is subluxing and it happens when I fall and land on my hand or arm during soccer. It’s very painful and my shoulder will be sore for a few days. I know I’m going to need future surgery unfortunately
i'm a carpenter and right handed, both shoulders have subluxed since i can remember. Because my left hand is always holding a screw or a nail in a weird position for my hammer or drill it causes my shoulder to sublux around 3 times a day. I'm getting an ultra sound tomorrow. Hopefully thats accurate enough to show signs and in effect solutions.
Im very skinny guy, i had this for years. When i lift weights, after some reps, i can see the shoulder ball sliding and leaving a little hole on my left shoulder. I have to stop after that because i cant lift anymore and take a pause. It simply cant connect to the arm. It doesn't hurt tho, it just that i literally cant lift the weights anymore.
Idk what to do honestly, I really wanna go all out for basketball but I can’t knowing that I have shoulder problems🤦🏽♂️ I’m 16 and I really need to get my shoulder back right so I can play basketball
Before I got surgery.... When this used to happen the first thing I would say was Ahhh shiiii😂😂 then it goes numb
Did surgery fully fix it?
I second this question???
I have VEDS, HEDS, and POTS. I have frequent subluxations, especially in my upper back, neck, and shoulders. I cannot do traditional chiropractic treatments for relief or weights to build strength. Do you have recommendations for people like me?

My humorous slipped out of placed just walking my bike across the street, crud... never felt pain like that before, there’s more to it than that this happened 5/6 years ago and here I thought it was a torn rotator cuff.... I was thinking it kept on slipping popping out of place, that tearing feeling, because I used to baseball, lot of eating pavement, semi extreme muscle toning. For ages slipping on the stair outside and grab the rail, that doesn’t help because it happened multiple times, Before the major accident here I just think ouch and I just find a wall and wrack my upper arm.. groovy that feels better, 5 years ago I think... 57 come March... guess what, arm is completely healed on it’s own. Yep it’s healed, going for ultrasound and x-rays to look, yay 😃
I am so happy for you 😭
I have been able to willing sublux both of my shoulders for as long as I can remember, I kinda just thought it was normal.
I have been skipping meals to try to get rid of my beer belly. Several days now i have just eaten 1 meal per day, and i think this lack of proteins weakened some stuff in my shoulder, so a couple of days ago, after sleeping, my shoulder felt pretty bad when i woke up, and tried to move my arm from under my head and to a normal position. It wasnt still pretty mild, which made me think it was just some small injury that will heal by itself. Yesterday it had gotten maybe a little worse, but still not more than that i could grind my coffee with the hand grinder without having much second thoughts about it. Today however, it is considerably worse, and i dont think this is going to pass by itself. Guess im skipping coffee today, and having some protein shakes to help the body heal any problems in tendons and muscles. Hope i can fix this myself, because my day/night cycle is not the same as my doctor...
My right should has been subluxing for as long as I can remember. While it has never dislocated and I don't play contact sports or anything of the sort I probably should do something about it. It can be annoying when I just lift my arm and my shoulder just slips down
How do you care for subluxation in a quadriplegic person and is it necessary to pay attention to?
I've recently subluxated my shoulder and now I can't straighten my arm without being in a lot of pain. My arm also locks when I raise it to look at my watch and it hurts to unlock it. Pain killers don't really work either. I've seen a surgeon too but the pain is so bad. Not sure what to do, even touching it slightly brings a lot of pain and my whole arm as well as my hand goes numb
I have issues similar to what you described. Physio, osteo, and massage didnt help. Doctors think it may be a loose shoulder socket, which is apparently easily fixable with surgery. Waiting for an MRI to confirm though.
Update please
I haven't done anything yet.. still struggling with the pain.
Both my shoulders keep subluxing but we think it's caused by eds
Yes mine is caused by Eds
What about if the subluxations (shoulders, hips, elbows, etc...) are caused by a connective tissue disorder?
Yes I think my subluxations are caused by Eds
Hello I have under gone antirior labrum repair surgery during that subcrominal dicompression synovectomy capusectomy and bicep tendon slap tear repair done. my rotator cuff was ok .when I do sideways movement of my shoulder I hear cracking sound.alsi my shoulder slides in by making cracking noise I do not feel the pain what might be the reason it is happening
I’m dealing with my right shoulder sliding in and out of socket! Extremely painful! Trying to get seen by an Orthopedic now what can I do to get pain relief while I wait to be seen? Please advise!!!😕
There is no cure for this except exercises to strengthen your shoulder and chest muscles. Specially upper back and shoulder muscles.
I’m able to pop my shoulder ‘out’ on demand and it go back in over and over again with no pain
I had an anterior dislocation in my left shoulder over a year ago. I recovered for the most part. But just a few hours ago, I subluxated my right shoulder when I missed a dunk and hit the rim. It bothers me so much, I just want to stay healthy. Hopefully this gets better soon
Boxing I threw out my shoulder a few years ago but i was in trouble at home and wasn’t supposed to be out so I never told my guardian and never got it treated i just left it as is to this day, that was 4 years ago
first time it happened to me when i was 12 . second time 13 . and after that it became a habit for my shoulder to pop out and pop back in .sometimes it hurts less but now it is happening so often that i think i may have permanently damaged it . i cant sleep properly ,wash properly and sometimes it even hurts when i dress .im afraid to have a surgery because im not sure if i will lose my mobility and not be able to do calisthenics anymore
well if you keep damaging it, you might not REALLY be able to do calisthenics. You should consider going to a doctor because you might be able to save your shoulder!
same here brother, but it seems surgery is inevitable at this point.
My left shoulder is subluxed and i been through it all im ready to get it fixed
I had my first subluxation when I was 15 and since then 4 - 5 times it happened and I’m 19 and still my left shoulder isn’t stable whenever I’m in fight or any kinda activity I don’t find strength in their so I need a solution . Would surgery be required? I want me at my level best I couldn’t continue my martial arts cause of this... thank you..
U find any solution yet? I also loose my shoulder strength on right arm. I felt my subluxation almost one year back due to a fight maybe. I cnt hit the gym nd do my exercises well
Rohan Singh same bro. Any luck ?
@@rohansingh3214 did you find any solution?
Dear Sir
I am a Physiotherapist by profession from India , Kolkata. I had right side anterior shoulder dislocation falling in outstretched hand during playing cricket. The head popped out and replaced immediately within few seconds. It was a violent collision with another fielder. There was a swelling around the joint but fully reduced with Ice. Date of Injury 18th December. X Ray was Normal. Now I m in Shoulder immobilizer. However I sometime doubt was it really dislocation or subluxation!
I am a Bowler. What will be my Rehabilitation Program to go into Cricket again ? Thanks.
Regards

I was in a car accident last year in August and my shoulder subluxes everyday throughout the day. I did physiotherapy for about 5 months and it didn’t help. I saw an orthopaedic surgeon and she’s sending me for more physiotherapy and I told her it didn’t help. I have no abnormalities on X-rays or the mri I had done. Should I get a second opinion?

Looking up stuff because I fell off my bike the other day and my shoulder keeps popping and feeling like it's coming loose. I had my knee subluxated and I know the feeling that it isn't sitting right, I should probably get it checked.
I faced shoulder subluxation. Happens 2 times. Did MRI. Report saying Hill Sach deformity. But Glenoid and Lebrum appears normal. Can physiotherapy can cure the issue?
Hi I think that I have this problem, I had my shoulder checked like 8 years ago, with MRI, the doctor says that I I have a common injury among Baseball players ( haven't played baseball in like 20 years), and it can be fixed with surgery, I didn't wanted to go that way so i did nothing, but didnt have too much pain, what I do is Obstacle course racing, and I do a lot of pull-ups to get my upper body strong to complete obstacles, I usually have this subluxation (in my right shoulder) when doing pull-ups and extending my arms all the way down, if I keep my arms a little bended it won't happen, but lately during races I end up with a lot of pain in my shoulder and feel pain trying to complete any hanging obstacles... what do you recommend..?
Think this is what I have after a accident at age 9 but now 32 and gives pain .been to the the hospital and think it's not a tear dew to the strength I have in the rotory cuff after the tests that where done . Am now waiting for the mri with the die to be done .
Is this as big a problem as an rotory cuff tear or injury.
Thanks
I think I might have this problem. I didn’t even know it existed so I thought my shoulder had been dislocating at the smallest of things and then just going right back into place. When I told my doctor, he kinda blew it off cuz he didn’t think it was dislocation despite me explaining that I felt it grinding into the socket and the horrible pain I’d feel. I’ll have to mention this next time and see what he thinks
@@unclemayhem6696 I haven’t seen him since, but I’m currently in the process of switching doctors for this reason.
@@mariamusilli2771 Any updates?
I subluxed my shoulder first tiem playing a tackelimg sport while i tried to grab and tacked a guy down on the ground as soon as the first touch happend my arm was pushed to the back while being widely stretched so i could make a grip on him and it just cam out i heard some muscle cracking noise and send thing i know i was on my knees with that popped shoulder and screamed in pain and in few seconds i tried moving my hand back to the position i subluxed it and it popped back in i thought it was some muscle stretch or something and kept playing sportd until i realized i nearly popped it out for about 38 times in span of 6 months and it was terrible pain with my arm strength getting weak and slowly noticing that in my daily acgivities i saw a doctor and was advised to nkt lift my arm above the height of my dhoulder for atleast a year to let the muscles recover and after a year i got my mris done and it was all good no bone or muscle damage they sent me in for 3 months kf ohysio i did it for good 2 months and left it thought i was strkng enough amd now 3 years after that i have strength in that shoulder but i have pooped it out about 5 times since than and i have avoided gym and sports completely because of fear of loosing my arm or going into surgery idk what shiuld i do next and the reason i am here today is i just popped it out before 10 mins and i felt like looking through skme content hoping to find some help!
I have had a subluxation from softball as a right handed batter. I have not been able to do much swinging for over 5 years. I have continued to lift weights and play sports and my left shoulder does not have much pain, but it is weak and can feel it move from time to time, when externally rotating it during activities. It bothers me everyday and strengthening is not working. Unfortunately I’m not able to take time off for surgery due to physical demands of work.
Sadly it started on my right shoulder then on my left but my right is the worst to the point where when it happens i can't feel or move my arm for a few seconds. Or i can make my should sublux and it's annoying and scary to my teammates. I've went to the hospital and they said " there's nothing we can do" ... I want to do that test you spoke about. I have taken precautions like stopping sport for a while and no more gym lifting due to my cartilage in my shoulder and collerbone area cracking / rubbing constantly to the point where if i flex it's like cracking my knuckle ls but in the area i said above. Anyhow if you read this what steps aside from my regular doctor who told me to do light weight lifting to regain strength. Cause that shit ain't working lol
Got surgery on my right shoulder two years ago for a labrum tear from playing rugby ... thought I was in the clear until two months ago when I dislocated my left shoulder while playing rugby. Now both of them are sublaxing and all I can do is tighten my shoulder brace until the season ends and I can look at surgery options.
I think I have had one yesterday it was very painful but the doctor said I was fibe
I was in a front end collision 2 months ago. I had extreme weakness in my left arm at the ER. Soon after started physical therapy and learned I had probably subluxed my shoulder in the accident. After 3 MRIs no tears or structural damage was found. But I still can’t lift my arm above shoulder height and the head of my humerus pulls away from my labrum at least 15 times per day. Considering this surgery now because I’ve had enough. It’s too painful/:
Was playing cricket yesterday, had this happen but I didn’t stop and it happened heaps more times, over a 2 hour period, while I was batting, now it’s really sore and I’m in a sling the next day
im here with the sling too..what are u planning to do on it
I think i subluxated my right shoulder. I was trying to reach something beside (slightly behind) me while seating but i couldnt quite reach it so I stretched my arm to reach it but since that day my shoulder feels a bit tense but no pain. its lot mobile now but still a bit stiff compares to my left shoulder. Is this something to worry about and will it comeback on its own?
I had a subluxation in my left shoulder almost 5 years ago , since then I’ve gotten a few MRIs and received physical therapy , spent countless hours in the gym working to rehabilitate it myself and had to buy a side sleeping pillow because the pain was so bad .
I’ve never been told what the problem is , now I don’t have constant pain , but my left trap seems to be nonexistent and the left shoulder seems to be constantly shrugged , tight and weak. I don’t really know what else to do as I’ve consulted specialists . one of the only things that has helped has been dry needling and sports massage to the area.
To me this seems like an impingement , something getting pinched.
Would love to fix this issue for good !
Any advice would be amazing !
Try Hijama
Try best orthopedic in ur town. He will suggest you surgery otherwise you will develop osteoartiritis as every time it gets displaced there is bone loss.
did you try hanging from a bar 20-30 seconds at a time. up to ten minutes a day. it helped my impingement
I get it in both shoulders but mostly the right. I find it happens most with sudden or unexpected movements. I was trying to help my balance on a skate board by putting my arms out/abducting and while focusing mostly on footwork, my shoulder just suddenly gives out and then i wiped out. Today I was playing hockey outside and hit a rough spot on the ice. Again trying to use my arms and body to adjust my weight so that I wouldn't fall down, my shoulder suddenly pops. Yet I can do 50 push ups , do overhead presses , bench press, etc with 0 subluxation and little to no pain. It's a strange thing for sure. Trying to determine the direct motion that causes the majority of my issue
Hey How is it now
Updates brother
Mine pops out the most when I’m drunk so I have to stop drinking. When I lead a healthy lifestyle w exercise and nutrition it happens way less or not at all. When the muscles are relaxed and my arm gets the wrong motion it slips. It’s a shame I’ve got so good at getting it back in🤦🏽♂️ but if u do take drugs and alcohol just know there’s a big chance it’ll be very lose in those moments
I have this on my left shoulder and usually doesn’t bother me as much but lately I must’ve done something to it because it’s really trying to slip out at least two or three times a day and I woke up this morning and I thought it was actually dislocated it had I don’t know whether I’ve rested so soundly that it just slipped out when I woke up I had to move my arm around and try to get it to slip back in it’s very painful to you I live in Northeast Missouri and I think I’m gonna have to find an ortho doc.
Two day's ago I heard a snap from my shoulder while I was on my bed and since after that I am having difficulty moving my hand and pain is constantly there. What to do?
I have Ehlers-Danos syndrome and most of my major joints pop out of place just whenever. I went to physical therapy for about 8 weeks it helped out a lot to make sure that I don't dislocate as often as I used to. But subluxed joints are annoying
That's a tough problem, but physical therapy can often help. Thanks!
My first chiropractor thought I might have had eds but others I've seen have said no. I don't have any of the hyperflexibility symptoms but just a lot of cracking throughout my body when moving. (doesn't mean I'm still paranoid about possibly having it...) Especially in my shoulders. How would you know if it's a subluxated joint or just cracking? Like my shoulder cracks fairly often and they feel very unstable.
I went to the ER last night and the Dr. Said I had a Hill Sachs deformity. I've never had a total dislocation. I absolutely cannot lift my arm , it feels like a strong rubber band is pulling it back towards me. Anyway I have a appointment with a bone dr, and hopefully know more.
I actually used TRX straps at my gym and tried doing chest flies where I leaned toward, putting all my weight forward and opening my arms and my left shoulder popped out of place and a second later popped back in, initially it didn’t hurt, I just stopped using the straps and it scared me more than anything. But days later it’s like a constant little bit of popping and moving around. I hope I didn’t really mess anything up. Hopefully it will recover on its own in a while? Not too sure. Was just an accident from possibly doing the exercise incorrectly
I had an incident about 4 days ago where I didn’t re-rack an incline barbell properly on the right and it fell back, took my arm back with it and my shoulder popped out, when I sat up it went straight back in. Feels ok, a bit achey and sore with full range of motion. Sound similar?
@@ollyarcadia yes definitely. Days later it’s sore after a workout but nothing how it was a few days ago. I’m able to sleep on it without it hurting and it’s not making strange popping noises like it was the first two days
Happened to me just now as I was about to do my daily push ups(safe to say i didn’t do any gym work ) Like my shoulder popped out then 5 seconds later it popped back in I was freaking out
how are you doing now?
he died , hence no response
My right shoulder does not sit still like my left and my right shoulder blade in the inner bottom corner gets pain inside like a pinched nerve. I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it
😭😭😭I ain’t did nun bout my shoulders , but I can’t keep livn like this…N it happens to both of em😔
Mine subluxes 3 or 4 times in one game of lacrosse and my arm goes limp and numb and you can hear it. Hurts.
I’ve dislocated my shoulder 2 times (1st time lifting 2nd time in football) couple months later I recover (at least I think) I’m benching 2 plates getting all this muscle and feeling good but then I get an MRI. MRI says that I “have a partially torn labrum. I eventually get surgerey do the rehab for etc for abt 8 months, get cleared by the doctor for football, I go back to football and on the 2nd week on hitting I go for a tackle and extend my arm that had surgery and SNAP!! It’s out again.💔 it’s depressing honestly I still cry sometimes cuz I try to find videos lol everyday to find a that “VIDEO” that cures my pain but my shoulder just keeps snapping. And it’s like I could lift and actually when I do get the blood flow in my shoulder I don’t feel pain . After I rest and let my shoulder sit for a while it gets stiff and just wants to crack like a bitch 😕
Hey I had a motorbike accident and my shoulder is subluxed and the muscles appear to be torn. I keep my arm in a sling but I don't see or feel like I'm getting better.
Jeremy Rose did u get better
