Shoulder Dislocated during Physiotherapy

[KieranJ]

Hi, I would really appreciate your opinions on this matter.

I dislocated my shoulder 3 years ago after a fall, after that it gave me no problems until 8 weeks ago when it dislocated again playing soccer.
After a trip to A&E I kept it in a sling for 3 weeks and naturally took care the weeks following this, especially not exerting it while having my arm in an outstretched position. Though i was was doing some light exercises and lifting some heavy enough objects during my daily business

So after 6 weeks of recovery ie. 10 days ago I was sent for physiotheraphy treatment by the Health Board here in Ireland and after 5min of doing 'tests' on my shoulder it came out of its socket again and I ended up back in A&E and put under anesthetic to have it put back in place. So I ended up back to square one again.

Just to let you know of the position I was in when my shoulder came out - I was lying on my back with my arm outstretched and elbow bent, my hand was behind my head at this point and I was pushing her hand.

I have since had a meeting with the girl and a 'spokeswomen' for the health board, and they are not admitting any wrong on their part, saying the test the girl was doing was a procedure and that the shoulder was very weak and the same thing would have happened with any other physio. Needless to say I feel I am being brushed aside.

Is this something that does occasionally happen because I've never heard of it, and what tests was the girl doing?

Thanks for your time and your opinions would be really appreciated, I
just want to get to the bottom of the situation.
