anyone dislocate their shoulder before. i just did. anyone else experience this? will i get my full strength back???
 
Did you see a doctor? Sometimes a dislocated shoulder can tear a muscle or leave some bad bruising afterwards.
 
No, but I had a dream that I did, once. That was a weird one.
 
I haven't dislocated my shoulder, but I've dislocated my right arm twice. Well... actually my brother and cousin dislocated it, not me xD You should make a full recovery, just takes some time for the tissue holding your shoulder upright to heal.
 
i only dislocated my wrist, hurts like crap... but of course, i can use it just fine now
 
I know Blasphemy has. I think I one-up'd anyone with a dislocated shoulder when I crashed on my mountain bike and incurred a grade 3 Acromioclavicular separation (AC separation, basically there are three major tendons holding your shoulder, I tore all three.), three broken ribs, and a concussion. For me and Blas the pain never completely goes away, but you get used to living with it. You’ll probably always have shoulder pain but you can still do almost anything you did before your injury (in due time). The injuries are similar regarding movement and flexibility. Depending on the severity of the dislocation you maybe have strength, stability, or flexibility issues. I’m pretty sure you’ll get up to full strength after a few months of taking it easy. You may lose a little bit of flexibility but overall the recovery is dependent on the severity of the injury. I will tell you that once your shoulder is dislocated it will never be as dependable as before. So don’t go climbing fences one-handed, try not to sleep with your injured arm above your head, rest on the opposite shoulder, and get into physical therapy ASAP. If you have any shoulder injury you need to keep moving it because you lose flexibility very quickly.

I’m going to guess you’ve seen a doctor about this. But if you haven’t or if you dislocate your shoulder again go to one because if you relocate your shoulder by yourself you could cause permanent nerve damage or you may not enter it correctly. That or you may have another type of shoulder injury like an AC separation or even a broken clavicle. By the way relocating your shoulder like in Lethal weapon is only a quick way to fail and humiliate yourself once you have to cry in public because of the excruciating pain.
