go to a sports doctor, he will be able to evaluate the severity of your injury....if you have to take more then 2 weeks off from training i would lay off the gear till your fully healed to train.

I don't want to sound demoralizing but "dislocating a shoulder" is very serious shit. If you don't take care of it properly now, it will be with you for the rest of your life and it will pop out very frequently when you least expect it. My brother and some friends suffered this for years. Their last resort was operation, because their shoulder was popping out while they sleep. Go see an EXPERT on this and have it fixed as they suggest you. DO NOT take any risks working out too early before it's healed.
Good Luck

Yeah, I don't want to be demoralizing about it either, but I ripped mine out doing shoulder press where it DIDN'T go back in... I had to throw it back in myself.... I took off ... ohh... 4 days? Now, when I reach to the upper shelves in my apartment it I can feel it pop... when I point and go "look at that bird" it pops... I can't do squats, or military press with a bar... my routine has been limited, but I make due...
Point? Get it checked out... make sure you do some rehab exercises... It just happened, I'm tellin' ya... take care of your shoulder, it has got to be one of the WORST injuries for a bodybuilder (that and back).

Oh, and smack the hell out of your training partner for me... in my case, he went to get a drink of water just as I started my set... brilliant...

Three plates maybe you can help. In the summer I was doing seated skullcrushers with too much weight and the guy I had spotting me, was distracted for a minute. Anyways the arms bent back and I felt a pop, but it went right back in and I was able to continue training. My friend says it was prob a rotator cuff but i think it sounds like your problem. I cant shoulder press, and my arm just gives out doing side laterals. However, incline chest is fine?????????
Anyways lemme know,

This is a very serious injury and should be treated as such. I am 25 years old and have had 2 complete reconstructive shoulder surgeries. I have had one on each shoulder and it is very painful. If your capsule tore, then there isn't much you can do about it. You need to have it checked out. Deca does help the joints, but gear also makes some peolple lift weight their joints and tendons are not prepared to lift. There are excercises you can do to help strengthen it. Be careful, my shoulders started to dislocate on a weekly basis to the point that I couldn't do a pushup. Good Luck.

hey bro... read my replies in this thread:

I highly recommend you look into this option before surgery. If it popped right back in, chances are its not that severe.

Pay particular attention to the post by Onadrol, then decide if you think this might be worth looking into.

If your shoulder went back into place itself that is a "separated shoulder". If you needed help putting it back in that is a dislocated shoulder. The only course of action that the doc will take is to immobilize your shoulder for a few weeks. When you separate your shoulder the tendons/ligaments stretch out. Immobilizing them will help them to "shrink" back in shape. It is unlikely that you tore anything since it went back in place on it's own, but an MRI will still be needed. The best advice is to take about 2-4 weeks off and immobilize your shoulder. If you don't it will just get worse.

StoneCold, I took your previous advice and called the ART number and found the local practioner in my area...I had my second session yesterday for my shoulder which I dislocated in August and damn did he work the hell out of it. It's still a bit sore today. The chiropractor told me that he should be able to assess how helpful the treatment will be for me withing four sessions. Thanks for the tip.

big pun-- glad to hear you're giving the treatment a shot. A bit of advice... give the treatment some time. I felt MUCH better immediately after my first treatment. I went back in for about 2 or 3 more, and continued to progress. But, as Dr. Leahy has pointed out to me before, you have to continue "working" the joint back into proper shape. After my last treatment, I still had about 3 weeks of working through some minor pain until the shoulder settled in nicely. The key is to pay attention to your strength... if its improving DURING your workout, then the treatment is working. My shoulders would still hurt at the beginning of my workout, but they felt better at the end after they were warmed up and used.
On a side note, El Cubano is incorrect in his statements about having a separated vs. dislocated shoulder. These two terms have absolutely nothing to do with severity or whether the joint popped back in. A "separated" shoulder really has nothing to do with your shoulder per se. It affects the acromonial clavicular (AC) joint. For those not familiar with anatomy, it is the joint located at the outermost portion of the collar bone, right where the trapezius ends. There are actually three different ligaments in the AC joint which connect the shoulder blade to the collar bone. Damage to any one of them constitutes a "separated" shoulder (there are three degrees of severity).
On the other hand, a dislocated shoulder is damage to the actual shoulder joint (rotator cuff, labrum, etc). A dislocated shoulder also has degrees of severity, but is in general a much more serious injury than a separated shoulder, as it affects a much more complex joint.

I agree with the Cuban...chances are you have only "stretched" your tendons and ligaments out of place..now take this to heart bro from two guys with a few rotator cuff injuries and one with surgery.
Please be sure your Doc knows every drug your taking and your schedule (use a sports medicine doc) and then ask for the evaluation.
Be honest about everything ...its your right.
