My shoulder has been becoming more and more sublux and I eventually caved and went to my doctor, just to be sure it's not gona cause any problems. Well, the answer is "Yes"... If I were to leave it as is, it's gona chew up the cartlidge, bit by bit.
The doctor was not at all impressed with what I showed him and made an appointment for an X-Ray & Sonar tomorrow...
The trouble with my shoulder is:
- My right arm now hangs flush against my body but my left arm still hangs outwards. - I can only lift my right arm 25-30 degrees when my arm is extended. - My arm drops/pops while held up in a bent position. - I can partially pop my shoulder on demand (Not a good idea as it obviously eat's cartlidge for breakfeast). - I can lift my right shoulder-blade without moving my shoulder.
Best case scenario, I end up with my arm in a sling for a couple of weeks and some physio...
Wors case scenario, they have to opperate which carries a 6 month recovery period.
I am not even looking forward to having my arm unuseable for a couple of weeks, let alone 6 months...
Wishfull thinking ... it just turns out to be nothing more than a sprain... I hope...

Wish you the best!!!
And you know there always things that are worse... Keep thinking positive and things will change in the right direction- hopefully. I´m not here to make you false hope but it is better not to think always of the worst scenario even if it´ts the general thing people are doing.

Thanks guys  For now, the doctor wants to put off surgery as much as possible. The X-Rays and Sonar at least came up clean for any damage thus far so that's a good thing. Bad thing about that, is that it just confirmed my Doc's suspicions that my legiments in my shoulder is way too lax. He wants to try Physio & Bio first, to see if we can't maybe get the muscles to take over the work from my legiments. So far, it has worked for my knees, albeit just to stop them from popping out as they can't do anything about the chondro accept try and halt the degen. No degen in my shoulder is a reason for selebration tho  . The last thing I need now, is yet another osteo joint. I am seeing the Bio tomorrow and hear what he has to say.
