The last time I went down over 2 years ago was because of hit/run incident with truck....this time it was totally my own stupid fault.
I have a question about recovery times for others who have experienced this type of dislocation injury.
I flipped trike during right hand turn and went into 6-inch concrete separator between lanes on residential road..... reached out w/left arm to brace for fall and messed up shoulder, broke tooth, and lots of nice red road rash.
Shoulder partially dislocated (humerus ball slid half-way down to lower lip of socket and got stuck there....did not go all way down under the shoulder joint socket lip).
I was able to work it back into position within 10 seconds of getting up.
I went to Urgent Care for x-ray and meds.
Very lucky in that there is no symptoms/pain to suggest ligament damage or broken or compression fractures.
Painful inside joint when range of motion is 50% (I will not try anything more) of range of motion.
No pain 12 hours post-injury when arm rests in sling.
No pain when I press in against exterior soft tissue (ligaments, tendons, muscle) surrounding shoulder joint.
What kind of timeline am I looking at to get back to old self of biking 100 miles week and weight routine?
When I hyperextended elbow and grade-2 torn ligaments (no surgery!), split cartilage in joint, and had hinge compression fracture it took me over a year to get good stability and 80% strength back....3 years to point I feel fully healed.
For this shoulder injury having nothing broken or torn I am hoping that recovery should be much quicker? A week or two?? Risk of recurrence?
Has anyone else had a subluxated dislocation with no major damage?
