Info on Dislocated Shoulders:

Overview
A shoulder dislocation occurs when the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) pops out of the shallow shoulder socket of the scapula (shoulder blade). This can happen when a strong force pulls the shoulder outward or from an extreme rotation of the shoulder joint.

There are two types of dislocation:

partial dislocation — The head of the humerus slips out of the socket momentarily and then snaps back into place. (Also called subluxation.)
full dislocation — The head of the humerus comes completely out of the socket.
Shoulder dislocation can be caused by:

falling on an outstretched arm
a direct blow to the shoulder area
forceful throwing, lifting, or hitting
force applied to an outstretched arm as in a football tackle
Risk factors that increase your chances of dislocating your shoulder include:

previous shoulder dislocation or subluxation
participating in contact sports
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome — a condition involving loose joints
poor muscle tone

Diagnosis
Symptoms of a dislocated shoulder include:

pain, often severe
instability and weakness in the shoulder area
inability to move the shoulder
swelling
bruising
shoulder contour appears abnormal
numbness around the shoulder or in the arm or fingers
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and how the injury occurred, and examine the injured area. Diagnosis is based on the physical exam of your shoulder area, and tests may include X-rays to rule out a related fracture.


Treatment
Do not try to force the bones back into place. Seek medical care immediately. Delaying treatment increases the chance of permanent damage to the shoulder joint.

Treatment of a dislocated shoulder includes:

Closed Reduction
The doctor will move the head of the humerus back into the shoulder joint socket. You may be given pain medication before the procedure begins.

Immobilization
After the reduction, you will need to wear a sling or a device called a shoulder immobilizer to keep the shoulder from moving. The shoulder is generally immobilized for 3 weeks and full recovery takes several months.

Rest
It is important to rest your shoulder and not put any strain on the joint area.

Ice
Apply ice or a cold pack to your shoulder for 15-20 minutes, 4 times a day for several days. This helps reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin.

Rehabilitation Exercises
Begin exercises to restore strength and range of motion in your shoulder as recommended by your health care professional.

Surgery
Surgery is rarely needed for a first time dislocation. It may be needed for a shoulder that dislocates repeatedly.
To help prevent a dislocated shoulder:

Do exercises to strengthen the muscles around your shoulder.
Wear proper safety equipment and padding for protection in sports.

Ironic, first when Nevin got injured, some were like the trade should've gone through, now look, both have it.
