i have had 15 dislocation's of my right shoulder, and 2 operations, it has been 18 months since my last time, i wear a evs shoulder brace when i ride now and it does make me feel a lot better as the shoulder definatly does not feel as good as my left shoudler.

yar its always your fault,never said it wasn't. But if your pushing your gonna fall off, no one i know of has ever pushed and not eventually crashed. and its kinda nice to fall and not have to go talk to the pretty nurses. thus the reason for back protectors and leathers and gloves and all them toys.

If i wanted to race and not fall off id slow down and do it in my undies. but id rather go as hard as i can and not show off me fat arse.

The fatter it is - the harder it is to get around I guess!

eiy, never a truer word be spoken.

bugger!!!

just popped it out again messing round with the family in the pool. Shit. words from the doc last time were that once more on either side and instant surgury. guess i might have to go find a kitchen knife.

anyone ever had surgury on dislocated shoulders???? Recovery time???

will obviously have to wait for the wee break between nats and winter series i think though.

**digsaw** · 27th December 2009, 16:43

Yep, recovery time is long if you want it to be normal,work it till it hurts but then rest it,repetition and light loading is the way to go as well as working it to get maximum movement.mine took about 3 years before it came right after the op,it is now better than the other shoulder that has not had the op but has only been dislocated once .

weeeellllllllllllll i was being an idiot. it was all rather entertaining.

fuck me, 3 years. Im happy as pig shit to stick it back in rather than piss round trying to make it right for that long. ill just keep crashing or doing something dumb and popping it out i think, with or without surgury if that was the case.

I imagine it wasn't all that entertaining for all those that were around you at the time. haha.
It would have been rather concerning.
Still impressed that you managed to dislocate it while swimming. Haha.

yea maybe not so much. i think they were quite concerned at first but my continuos laughing was quite reassuring. mum did manage to call me an idiot 4-5 hundred times.

**nz_rider** · 27th December 2009, 21:05

Haha. Good on you for laughing through the pain. It is either that or cry. And your mother is right for calling you an idiot. You probably gave her quite the fright when she saw that your arm was no longer how it should be......
I hope that you have it is a sling now and are resting it up well.
