Re: Shoulder Question - Which way does yours dislocate????

[Guest guest]

I do not totally dislocate. Just what was called " multidirectional

instability " The thermal shrinkages only lasted me about 2 months and then I was

loose

again.

Saturday, and I went into a new BOSS men's clothing store to pick up

these free shirts we had a coupon for. THe girl there had on the same fancy

shoulder slingy thing I had twice.... the grey one with the detachable pillow

under it. I told her I had one and asked her how she was, what happened, etc.

She had had a rotator cuff repair and tightening repair due to dislocation the

day before!! I couldn't belive my ears!! The asst. manager had quit so she came

in with a pocket of pain pills(loose since she couldn't open the bottle

obviously). Her mom was at home with her 9 month old until tomorrow and then she

is

on her on!! I wanted to cry for her! I never could have done that!

Guess I am the wimp here!

Hi Sharon, I have multi directional instability of my left shoulder

plus even in normal circumstances my humerus and humeral head are

already rotated and subluxed within the gleniod anyway (not sure

whether this may be a progression of my Marfanoid skeletal

deformities)

Most of my dislocations are anterior and inferior, but I have also

had several posterior/inferior too, some resulting from anterior

reductions. I've also dislocated my scapula and collar bone during

indulging in the extreme sport of.... pulling my pants up!

I'm hoping my upcoming shoulder surgery will help stabilise things

somewhat. I'm not 100% sure what my surgeon will do yet and more

worryingly neither is he! We're going to get in side and make

decisions on the kind of reconstruction needed depending on what he

finds...he's warned me to expect fairly extensive surgery though and

has me written up for a Morphine PCA already. Hmmm, I'm not liking

the sound of this!! Oh well, fingers crossed it will work because if

it doesn't he'll want to start getting the old power tools out and

playing DIY on me again!

Hope your shoulder is doing okay Darl, have you had your scans done

yet? Keep me posted and know I'm here for you.

Love and hugs...Jo

Sharon;

Mine go out anteriorly, inferiorly and posteriorly.

Usually it's anterior/inferior though. Posterior is unusual for me, but it

does happen. This is regardless of the many reconstructions, there's been

no change in the direction of the dislocations despite this.

, you are NOT a wimp!! She's probably not doing what is BEST for

her healing, and not what the doctor said. We can't compare each

other, because everyone is different.

Take care now!
