How to recover from a dislocated shoulder

Accidents are everywhere in life, especially in some strenuous sports, shoulder dislocation is the most common among athletes. After a shoulder dislocation, you need to go to the hospital for examination and reduction in time. Do not forcefully swing the dislocated limb, otherwise it may easily cause secondary injury.

1. When your arm is dislocated, it is best to go to the hospital immediately for examination and reduction. If you find that your arm is dislocated and extremely painful, it is best not to try to correct it yourself, otherwise the joints may be misconnected. You should try to keep your arm still and go to the hospital as soon as possible for bone and joint repositioning. If the condition is very serious, laser surgery may be required to reposition the arm. If the condition is not serious, you only need to find an orthopedic surgeon to manually help reposition the arm.

2. If you are forced by external factors and cannot find a doctor or go to the hospital for treatment in time, you can try to reposition your arm yourself. If you find that your arm is dislocated but cannot contact medical staff in time for treatment, you can try to manually reposition it yourself. You need to relax your muscles first, then use your knees to press against your armpits to stabilize your arms. Use your other hand to hold your arm and slowly rotate it inward, pulling your arm back to its original position. When you hear a "click" sound at the joint and the pain is relieved, it means that the arm has been repositioned. It should be noted that it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up when you have the chance after reduction to avoid hidden dangers.

3. After the dislocated arm is reduced, you can apply cold compresses to relieve swelling at the dislocated joint. After the dislocated arm has been properly treated, you can use some medical cold compresses to apply cold compresses to the affected area. This can relieve pain and swelling in the injured area. However, it should be noted that after a day and a night of cold compresses, hot compresses should be used to promote blood circulation in the injured area. The hot compress time only needs to be one day, or 24 hours.

4. If there is muscle strain after reduction, you can take some medicine or apply ointment for treatment. After the arm is dislocated and repositioned, if you find that although the arm can be stretched and moved, it is still painful when moving, it may be because the arm muscles are strained. In this case, after a doctor's examination, you need to take some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin capsules, or apply some external ointment on the painful area, such as Yunnan Baiyao. If the pain is severe, you can also take a small amount of painkillers.
