Dislocation of body parts.

I know that's painful....I've seperated my shoulder before, and that hurt, can't imagine dislocating it.  My ex-stepdad used to dislocate his shoulder all the time...He used to ram into the wall to get it back into place, otherwise he would go to the er for them to fix it....ouch!

great advice

Good article!

One thing you didn't mention was to NOT try and force it back into place, that's something that a doctor needs to do. There are nerves and arteries all over the place, and if you force it back into place you can squish them and cause major problems. Like you could even lose a limb, or have massive nerve damage. 

I dislocated my shoulder in high school and it hurt soooooo bad. No more volley ball for me!

Great advice and sounds very painful...

Hi Liz,

I use my knees as party tricks as people freak when you pop out. My eldest Sam can pop her hip out and her friends freak everytime . . I've stopped my tricks now that I am older and I am always warning Sam not to do it as the long term complications just aren't worth a few laughs . .

Great article . .

Cheers Kellz

Hi Libby,

My daughter has a dislocated knee cap after her knee took a nasty frount on collision into the frount of a parked car swerving out of the way of an on comming car. At the hospital she was diagnosed with joint hypermobility.  So it is not recomened for her to have an opperation.  her physotherapist gave her some exercises to hopefully strenghten the muscle  and ligament  to help pull the knee cap back into place and then hold it there. 

She has also started to do extensive streching exercises, similar to the gymnasts, to strenghten her whole body muscles. She is not recomending this regime to you  as she spends up to three hours doing them.  She thought that  these two web sites may helpfull.

It may be a good idea to talk it over with your doctor?  he/she may offer physotherapy , or a properly fitted knee brace.  my daughter has two sizes of knee brace ( one for when her knee swells one for every day)  plus a walking stick

I hope things get better for you,  I know how much pain she has  .
