the arthritis that follows multiple shoulder dislocations will stiffen it up.
you guys are in the USA, not Bangladesh. Get it fixed.

I had the same problem a few years back. My shoulder would dislocate whenever I put my arm over my head. Must have done it over 100 times the year before I got it fixed. Surgery is the only way to fix it for good. The problem with my shoulder was that the socket was sore wore out from being dislocated so many times that it wouldn't hold the ball in place. They ended up taking a piece of bone from my hip and screwing it into my shoulder socket, then grinding it down so the ball wouldn't come out any more. Also have three screws in there holding things together. Still get sore now and then but no dislocation in the last 5 years. Had my surgery done at the Mayo clinic in Rochester MN. Can't remember the docs name but he was from Canada. I was the 4th person in the nation to have this type of surgery done. I'm sure it's pretty normal now. GET IT FIXED!! He'll only be down for about 8 months

I have a similar problem only with seperations.. happened 9 or 10 times now and it is always stuff you wouldn't think would pop out a shoulder...
How much was that shoulder surgery B/C i cant' seem to tighten it up good, it will be fine for like 2 months and then it pop out swimming or something stupid
Thanks
