What should I do?
I think I dislocated my right shoulder. I've dislocated my left one multiple times but not able to get it back in this time. Can't really move it unless I cringe and scream, can't hold stuff, and pain meds don't help. Been like this for 3 days. Think it's only partly dislocated, not fully. I've been doing stuff but not with that arm. Should I go to ER today or urgent care tomorrow? ER will probably take a while to get seen, but urgent care is faster but closed weekends... currently can only use the elbow down. My other arm I can't lift high due to damage from dislocated so much

Id go get checked now. I don't say that lightly because I refuse to go to the doctor or hospital until I am literally dying but urgent care tomorrow may not really be enough. At least with the ER you'd get X-rays now. Some urgent cares at least near me don't always have someone to do x-rays every day So there's a chance that they'll give you a referral for Ortho and you may not be able to get in with them for a few days or longer... The hospital will also probably give you a ortho referral, but there's a higher chance that they will do scans that you can take to the ortho so that they don't end up sending you out and making you wait even longer
ER today.
Can you go to an orthopedic urgent care? They would most likely be the most helpful, especially since this is reoccuring
@Alli been to them. They can't do anything if I'm having seizures. They wanted to do surgery but I have to be without a seizure for so long both before and after... otherwise they'd have to fuse the joint
@Bethany thats so interesting. My husband has epilepsy and tore his shoulder and they never even questioned his seizures. He had his repaired then followed up with physical therapy. Can you get a second opinion.
Or if you're open to energy work, which works at much deeper level, you can find a practitioner without leaving your house and treat more than just the symptom. 🙏🏼✨️ @heartfullivingtoday on IG if you have questions I can help answer for this. ❤️
