  Hello, my shoulder is about a few centimeters out of place since i landed on it strangely. My question is how serious this can be since I still have full range of motion although it does feel unstable in certain positions when I do sports and which doctor I need to see to put it back into place.

  • You may have a subluxation.
    
    If there is no pain, you will have to strengthen your shoulders muscles to avoid to get a new one.
    
    If you want to consult : ask an orthopedist to have a look, and he'll probably prescribe you some physiotherapy sessions.

  Hi, I have a small Hernia (L5-S1) which pushes on the sciatic nerve. The pain is now extended to the knee/calf/foot. Which is the specialist I should get in contact with?

  • Hi,
    
    it depends the hernia. A small one, I can handle it, and you will have to pay attention to avoid make it bigger.
    If it s a really big one, that s the neurosurgeon you need to ask.
    
    You can still take an appointment and take the access code with you to have a look a your MRI or CT scan.
