Hi Julie, i've just dislocated mine about 2 weeks ago and have to wear a hinged brace for 6 weeks, then start therapy. apparently mine ws quite nasty.

they'll then see what sort of movement I'll have going forward. in the n west of england. nhs team here are well regarded. also went to a sports rehab physio in Deeside n wales. to get a view on it.

Seems that if you want to get it back to a really good level, you have to really put the effort in, and go through the pain barrier a fair bit.

It does depend on what you've done, as to how far you can get it back, but if you set yr mind to it u can accomplish a fantastic recovery.

hope this helps.
