How serious is a shoulder out of place with full motion but instability in sports?

Hello,
If you have full range of motion and you don't feel any pain, it is not that serious. If it was fully dislocated, you wouldn't be able to move it without a lot of pain. Although, if you feel it instable, my advice is to see a physiotherapist to reinforce your shoulder muscles and evoid the dislocation to happen again. Also, the doctor best able to give you advice for that kind of problem is an orthopedist.

I hope it was helpfull

Hello, the shoulder joint is very mobile due to its articular shape and therefore also very unstable. This stability is provided by the rotator cuff muscles. It is possible that you have pulled a muscle or a tendon. I advise you to make an appointment with a first line professional (doctor, osteopath) in order to assess your situation.

Have a nice day.

Hi , you need first to make an x-ray or MRI . After that find an orthopedist to fix this

Hi, Did you have done an echography of your shoulder ?
If yes, please contact a specialist to know which treatment is the best

Hello,
As long as your shoulder doesn't hurt I won't panic, but if you are unstable at times I would advise you to go see your doctor or a sports doctor to have your shoulder checked out to investigate whether it is there isn't a stretch or something before you get to the dislocation...
you probably need to strengthen and re-stabilize your shoulder.

You need a shoulder orthopaedic surgeon to fix it.It’s a subluxation of the articulation that needs to be corrected surgically.

Unstable shoulder = check with an orthopaedic surgeon to see if surgery / physiotherapy is needed
Osteopathy = if there is no surgical indication AND physiotherapy is not helping

Hello you should go to the doc, or the hospital to put it back in. You really need rehab to make your muscles stronger around the soulder and limit as possible other dislocations.

Hello,

First of all, if your shoulder is still out of place i would suggest to avoid practicing any sports until you can do it safely. In order to have a good diagnosis of your situation, the best would be to consult an orthopedic doctor or a doctor specialist in sports.

You might need a relocation of the joint (even though i'm not sure because you have a full range of movement), an assessment of the potential damages and make sure you get the specific cares that are needed according to the outcomes. After that first step, you could need a good rehabilitation to stabilize your shoulder in order to be able to use it safel...y in the future.

Hoping I fully answered your question, I wish you a quick recovery.

It can be serious. How is the shoulder now? Did you see a doctor or get an X-ray? Physiotherapy would be next, then osteopathy for overall balancing.

Hello, your shoulder is probably back in place but, as you said, it may last a lack of stability. You should strength your shoulder to resolve this problem. The type of exercise should fit your sport practice.

Généralist, he will asses the severity of the injury and redirect you towards either physiotherapist or an orthopedist.

Hello, after a fall of certain intensity, you should see an orthopedist to check your shoulder. Especially if you feel instability.

Hello, I suppose you hurt the shoulder joint, which can be without mobility problems but indeed inflammation problems. The best would be eventually to get some x-rays to see if the bone isn't hurt, then osteopathy can also be useful to settle all articular problems in the shoulder but also in the upper back. Thanks.

hello, an orthopedic doctor. maybe needed to do an Xray if it is still away from his good position. You could maybe do some physio to rehab this shoulder or it could happen again.

You have a sub-luxation dislocation of your shoulder probably. You should check a GP or a orthopedist to start the exploration. depending of your activities, we have a large range of treatment to stabilize the shoulder

Hello,

The best idea is to go and see and orthopedist specialist of the shoulder. If the pain is still there after, do not hesitate to book an appointement with an osteopath.

Hello. You might have a sub-clinic anterior shoulder luxation. I recommend you to visit an Orthopaedic Surgeon, in order to evaluate and rule out a serious injury that might risk to get worse and come back often. After that, tf there is no need for surgical care, a Physiotherapist might help you.

Hi, You had certainly a dislocation.
The treatment you need is reinforcement in those position.
For a doctor you need to see an orthopedist

Based on the information you've provided, it's possible that you have experienced a shoulder dislocation. This occurs when the upper arm bone becomes dislodged from the socket in the shoulder blade. Even if you are still able to move your arm freely, it's important to seek medical attention to assess the extent of the injury and to prevent any potential long-term damage. You should consider consulting with a specialist such as an orthopedic doctor or a sports medicine professional, who can conduct a thorough examination of your shoulder. They may also use imaging tests such as X-rays to better understand the nature of your injury,... and to provide you with the most appropriate treatment options. In the meantime, it's recommended that you avoid any activities that may exacerbate your injury, and keep your arm as still as possible. You may also find it helpful to apply cold packs to the affected area to alleviate any swelling or discomfort. Voir plus

It would be important to do instrumental examinations to check if there are lesions and if there are lesions a specialist examination, but for this I would advise you directly to consult a generalist doctor who will be able to point you in the right direction.
If there are no injuries and we are talking about an imbalance, osteopathy could help you to restore the correct function of the shoulder.

I cannot give you an estimation about the “seriousness” of the pathology since I haven’t seen you for examination and detailed anamnesis. I’d suggest you go see an orthopedist if the problem persists, so he can prescribe physiotherapy if needed.
Best regards

Hello,
If the shoulder is still out of place, you need to put it back. But if you still have full range of motion that surprise me. I guess it is not really dislocated but may be a little bit swollen. Best thing is to see a sport's doctor or an orthopedic doctor.

Hello, the beste you can do is to make an appointment with an orthopedist specialised in shoulder problems.
Kind regards

Hey, even if it's not painful, you have to consult a doctor, a shoulder's specialist, in French we said "orthopédique-traumatologique". Because even if you can live with it now, if you'd have another accident, you can have some long term repercussions

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.

Hello, I can't give you a diagnosis but it would be better to go see an orthopedist specialized in the shoulder or your family doctor. Kind regards

The major risk that you have is the shoulder dislocation. You can take an appointment with a doctor and/or maybe an orthopedist. You can also do a strengthening program to stabilise your shoulder.

Hello
Shoulder asymmetry is physiological.
But it is interesting to have an assessment with an osteopath in order to correct the various tensions which could subsequently create various problems.

I remain at your disposal for various questions

Lloret Quentin osteopath

Good morning,
you need to see an orthopedist to assess your shoulder it could be a subluxation of the joint.
in any case avoid movements of too large amplitudes for a certain time, as well as too intense efforts with the arm.
Regards

Hello, It is unlikely that you will still have a dislocated shoulder if you have full range of motion. But if you feel it unstable, it is very likely that there is a small lesion left that should be injected. For this, the best would be to consult an osteopath to analyze this or directly a sports doctor or an orthopedic specialist in the shoulder.

Hello, have you seen a doctor ? Shoulder dislocation could be serious. A family doctor, or a sport/orthopedic/physical medecine specialist is the professional to see first. Then, for the shoulder instability, we can work this out so you can fully recover!

Hello, I advise you see a sports doctor so a detailed analysis can be made of the structures in your shoulder. If you have full range of motion, it is highly unlikely that anything need to be put back into place. Still, a carefully examination of the surrounding tissues would be wise.

Hey, from what you told me, it seems like you have dislocated your shoulder. It's an emergency. Don't wait for an appoitment with a specialist, go to the emergecy room. They'll more likely take some medical imaging and call an orthopedist to put it back in its place. The more you wait, the more the muscles and other structure will be injured. (If you in deed, dislocated your shoulder, wich I can't be 100% sure with only online contact).

Hello, it can be serious especially if you have pain when you are moving your arm or your shoulder. If you are an athletic person and your fall took place during a sports training, you can go directly see a specialist : an orthopedic doctor or a sports doctor.
Get well soon !

You need to see the doctor generalist 1st and orthopedic specific in shoulder’s problem after, and check your ligaments, if you don’t have a subluxation and practice some specifics exercices to reinforce your shoulders

Hello, tissue damage varies greatly between injuries depending on impact, direction, duration of dislocation... Any physio and doctor can help you put it back into place. The fastest way to get help will be via the ER services or your general practicioner.

Best,
Thomas

Hello,

you need to see a general practitioner or a sports doctor. It's important to check that everything is fine if you have pain. Shoulder instability can lead to other problems especially during sports
See you soon

Hello, i think the best thing to do is to see an orthopedic doctor.

hello, I think you may have dislocated your collarbone. to go faster go see your general practitioner but it will probably be necessary to do an x-ray and see an orthopedic surgeon if my hypothesis is correct.

You should consult a shoulder orthopedic and mak some exams to see if there is any damage. It's a good point that you have your mobility, but you should consult a doctor anyway to relocate the shoulder if needed and evaluate the damages.

The best is to see an orthopedic and taking an appointment with a physiotherapist to have a proper explanation about the stability exercises you could do to take away the instability. A shoulder luxation can really tear the ligaments and shoulder muscles, there is a risk to have it again. So it's very important to get that stability back.

Hi,

You have to go to hospital to put it back into place.
I hope you don't damage any nerve.
After that, you have to make a revalidation with muscle building.

Hello, you have to consult a sports doctor who will prescribe an x-ray/ultrasound according to his diagnosis and will refer you to an orthopedist if necessary.

Hello, probably you have a problem with your joint capsule of your shoulder. You need to see un first one orthopedist doctor before to start physio sessions. He will do some exam to check if it's a ligament or muscle problem. You can contact me after for the treatment.
Regards.

Hello,
I think you need to see an orthopedic doctor then maybe have physiotherapy rehabilitation

Hello
The right practician for this mechanical problem is called here in Belgium a "kinésithérapeute". You can also choose an osteopath. I would recommend that you ask for a medical exam, such as a radiography, in order to be sure about the injury and have a specialist's opinion.
We kinesiologists, can accompany you in the management of stress-related to you injury, if you feel the need.
Cordially

Hello,
Sorry to answer this late, I Think you should consult your doctor as soon as possible or go directly to the hospital (emergency).
Let me know how it goes!

Kind regards

If you can move your arm in a complete range of motion, it's propabily not dislocated. You May br have a luxation of your clavicule wich is not an emergency.
In this situation it would be preferable to go see an orhto specialized in shoulder like Dr Maxime Bonnelance, he work very well.
The instability that you feel is the real issues, so check with the doctor if only physio would be enough or if you need a small surgery.
Take care, if you want me to check your shoulder don't hesitate to take an appointment.

Hello,
If you have full range of motion it probably doesn't need to be put back in place. But to see a physiotherapist would be a good idea to have a proper assessment and a proper rehab. I can't say anything if I don't see you.
You can call me tomorrow so that we make an appointment.
Good evening.
David

Hello. It depends, if you can moove without pain it is probably not out of its place. But you can see an orthoepedist if you want to have an image( X ray or something)
Thank you

to put back a shoulder the best are the emergencies of the hospital

For sure your ligament are broken there... Some people live with it like that and feels ok for other a surgery can fix it, ask to a shoulder surgeon but first an imagery

Hi, maybe it could interesting to let an orthopeadic doctor have a look

Hello, you probably dislocated your shoulder or collarbone. You would need to see an orthopedic doctor to confirm this and treat it. Even though it doesn't hurt, you could be damaging it further if if is not set right.

Hello,
You have to go to the hospital to make exams because a shoulder not stable can be serious. Never let this without seeing it by a professionnal.

Take care
