How long should a popped shoulder be rested before resuming sports ? Doctors said just rest till it feels ok but i still sense discomfort notably when swimming
Sep 6, 2013

Dr. Ziad Tannous Orthopedic Surgery
ideally it is recommended to immobilize the shoulder for a period between 3 to 4 weeks .( the duration depends on whether it's a first , second or third , or the amount soft tissue injuries cumulated on a MRI investigation ! ) .
feeling of discomfort ( also known as apprehension ! = fear of or the feeling you get as if the shoulder is about to pop ) is secondary to defect in the structures resisting anterior translation of the shoulder .... which shoud be investigated
