If'n I'm not mistook, a good orthopod should have that back in place (within seconds)with a certain type of manipulation. I'm told that it is pain free immediately after.
But maybe that's under ideal circumstances.
After i finally went to the chiro, it was mostly a matter of popping it back in and I went back to work. I probably was careful for a few days, but it was mostly in my head.
30 yrs later it might take longer. :)
Boy, it is just instant relief when they reduce that dislocation, isn't it?
I've done both shoulders on several occasions. First time, I was a couple weeks before it felt ok to do things that required any reaching. I bounce back a little faster now, but it's not as strong or stable.
I have to be very deliberate and controlled in my motions at full extension, especially if I've been working and the muscles are tired.

I dislocated my left back about '75 slamming into the ground with my motorcycle.. Didn't feel a thing other than embarassment at first. Then I bent down to grab the handlebars and lift it back up and my left arm wouldn't co-operate. I looked at it and the elbow was way up about 6" higher than normal So I wondered where the rest of that arm was....
Looked over my shoulder and saw a big lump pushing shirt out back there. I had imaginations of bone and blood sticking through the skin... Reached up and over with my right to feel and see how bad and when I touched, it went all squirrelly with sensations like hitting your funny bone - lot of them - almost felt like wetting my pants...but it popped back into place again.
somebdoy else helped by driving the bike home and giving me a ride. I thought I was doing fine, took a hot bath to relax andget over the shakes. Then I figured what the heck, Let's see how this baby is doing, and I started moving it around to test this and that. Still no real pain.
Then as I lifted it up above shoulder height, it went back out again. Could not get it back and now it is really starting to ache bad.
Got in the car and drove to the ER where they pulled and twisted a bit until it popped back in. Told me to keep ice and it instead of heat.
sorry for the long storey. Us old guys get that way...
I was back at work in a week, but could not lift my arm over should for a few weeks, and still had a catch in it for certain kind of lift for the next thirty years. I'd have to go forward or back of that point with my arm to get it up. Whenever I lifted at a certain angle to my body, it just would not go.

I popped my shoulder out in the summer of '07. It never felt quite right, and would pop out again when my arm was at a particular angle. (About 5 more times). The shoulder would usually go back into the socket after I brought my hand down below my waist. X-rays showed a bone spur. MRI showed some "arthritis". I scheduled surgery with an orthopedic surgeon, and when I awakened from surgery, was told that I had a complete tear of my posterior ligament, which didn't show on the MRI. Although it was difficult at first, my shoulder is really feeling great. I hope this is not the same injury, but seeing an orthopedic surgeon was the right choice for me.
Bursitis is worse, IMO. You'll be fine in no time once it's relocated, bursitis is the gift that keeps on giving, I just had it in BOTH shoulders, one right aftre the other.

It hurts more when you spend too much time at the keyboard too.

Piano? Nahh...sleeping is what kills me, I am a side sleeper and it jams it up. And if you remember me, I have super wide shoulders, and need a tall pillow to keep my neck from snapping.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
