Shoulder Separation Redux...

The key is "Stop falling on your shoulder!" It's a hard one to follow for some folk though.
Agree with continuing to do the physio and strengthening exercises. I was considering starting some weight training just before I dislocated my previously separated (3rd degree), previously broken (glenoid crushed, scapula cracked, clavicle broken) shoulder. Wish I had considered it a couple of months sooner.

Reminds me of the of guy going into the doctor and saying “When I do this it hurts” whereupon the doctor replies wisely “Don’t do that!”

I mentioned that to the 6'4" guy about to crush me..he crushed me anyway...

What type of movements or falls cause the redux?

I had a pretty nasty separation when I was 23 but it healed up well without surgery. Only thing was I was never able to hit a golf ball 300 afterwards, which is ok cause I stink at golf anyways. For some reason the uninjured shoulder creaks more than the bad one. I think losing some ligaments made it more flexible.

Just everyday stuff. Remember the movements that caused pain when it was separated? Those..but with normal, maybe elevated exertion level use.
