dislocated shoulder occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) pops out of the shoulder socket, causing intense pain, swelling, and visible deformity. Treatment requires immediate medical attention for "reduction" (realigning the joint) followed by immobilization in a sling for 4–6 weeks . Full recovery often takes months, with a risk of recurrence🙂 . Key Aspects of a Dislocated Shoulder: Symptoms: Intense pain, inability to move the arm, swelling, bruising, and numbness. The shoulder may look square or have a visible bump. Causes: Common in sports (hockey, skiing), falls, or accidents. Treatment: Immediate: Immobilize the arm, apply ice, and seek emergency care. Do not try to force it back into place yourself. Reduction: A doctor maneuvers the bone back into the socket, often with sedation. Recovery: A sling is used for 1–3 weeks, followed by physical therapy to restore strength and range of motion. Healing Time: Generally 4 to 6 weeks for the joint to stabilize, though complete recovery can take up to 6 months. Long-Term Effects: Potential for stiffness, weakness, or repeat dislocations. #fypppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp #medstudent #trendreels #lifelessons #health
