    Re: Dislocated Shoulder? X-ray Attached

    try to be checked again by a radiologist for any furher imaging advice...

    looks like the rotators are involved on anterior-posterior view but you better make the lateral(side) view to rule out anterior dislocation. even the good side must be checked for comparison...anyway, im sure the pain has subsided with NSAIDs and putting in the position-of-comfort...
    anyway, if you are not into sports or your occupation is not that demanding, i'd advice you to delay any exercises. just go on with your activities as your shoulder permits.
    check physio near you to better evaluate you....

    Re: Dislocated Shoulder? X-ray Attached

    You need to see a physio for full physical assessment. X-rays tell next to nothing in this sort of injury.

    Lot's of things could have happened, but only in-person assessment or Wikipedia reference-linkMRI will tell you. You could have dislocated it, injured the attachment of your biceps onto the shoulder, torn a Wikipedia reference-linkrotator cuff muscle...lot's of things, but again it needs a physical assessment.

    Re: Dislocated Shoulder? X-ray Attached

    I would agree with Dugal, you need to see a physio and have a full assessment. On top of the soft tissue injury you might have it is important to check the Brachial plexus and peripheral nerves.

    Widespread area of pain, presence of pins and needles, numbness are some of the symptoms indicating involvement of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

    Definitely you are better off seeing someone in-person!
