I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY RIGHT SHOULDER IN MY 20S. IT STARTED POPING OUT IF I JUST MOVED MY ARM JUST RIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO THE ORTHO, I TO WAS TOLD THAT I HAD ERODED IT. MY ORTHO PUT A PIN IN MY SHOULDER TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. I COULDNT MOVE IT FOR 6 WEEKS AFTER THE SURGERY, THEN I WENT THRU PT FOR NUMEROUS MONTHS. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET 65-75% MOVEMENT BACK. I GOT 95% BACK. IT WAS A PAINFUL ROAD TO RECOVERY BUT WORTH IT. I AM 50 NOW AND EXCEPT FOR SOM ARTHRITIS IN IT NOW AND A FUNNY HOOK LOOKING PIN ON XRAYS, IT IS GREAT. NEVER HAS GONE OUT OF SOCKET AGAIN. EVEN WITH THE LAST 5 OR 6 YRS THAT I HAVE HAD OF CONSTANT TCS, IT STAYED IN PLACE.  WHAT EVER THIS ORTHO DID WAS A GREAT FIX. NOW IF ONLY SOME ONE COULD MAKE MY LOWER BACK STOP HURTING!!

I TYPE IN CAPS FOR THE VISUALY IMPAIRED

GOD BLESS,

LIFE IS FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE.

Hello,

Well all I can say is my Dr. told me that I needed to get the seizures under care for a time before he would look at "fixing" my shoulder. It does happen to me as well usually during the night (Grand-mal). I then wake up feeling like I want to die because it has been seperated.  My husband has gotten in the routine of things now where if I have a "Popping" noise as I am having one he just waits until I am done and simply rotates my arm back into place. He figures it probably hurts so badly but while I am in that frame of mind I cannot feel what he is doing.  I really have to say Thank God for my husband! He has been right so far!

The reason I do not know what to do about "fixing" my shoulder is because the next question my Dr. did say was what if I did get them under control, fix my shoulder with the rods and screws that are needed and then have a seizure out of the blue again? This would probably end up tearing the shoulder.

I hope I could help in some items but you are not alone believe me.  Anytime.
