I recently had a dislocated shoulder, which is unfortunately a chronic issue for me. This time I went to an orthopedic doctor who chastised me that I should be wearing a sling. After wearing the sling, my back and neck were all janked. It was a mess. Now I'm sling-free and everything is getting better.
@danielpunkass broke my left humerus pretty badly nearly 10 years ago, the worst part was the damn sling... my neck and shoulder were so messed up and sore.
@danielpunkass I have shoulder problems and the constant advice is to keep using it as much as I can. “Protecting it” by not using it will just make it worse.
I’m sure it’s a different issue, but getting mixed advice is always frustrating with chronic conditions.
@chrismclay Thanks! Yeah, I Think the "keep using it" advice applies here especially with no surgery. Hoping it will heal up well, and with exercises from PT I willl prevent it happening again!
