Thread: Whats up with my shoulder?

Heres the story, it was my sisters wedding reception, everyone was dancing, and I wasn't into it. Then I had several glasses of wine, and some vodka, I ask my cousin to battle me in breakdancing. So I think I tried doing a flare, but then all of a sudden I collapse completely holding my shoulder tight to me, it felt really stiff and weird, I thought it was seperated. I jerked it a little bit then all of a sudden, it wasn't so painful anymore. It felt stiff the entire night, and also the next day. Today, its feeling improved, but still a little stiff when I do certain movements, like raising my hand, or reaching across my body (its my right arm btw). I thought maybe I seperated it, but then after reading some stuff on shoulder seperations, I noticed that I didn't need anybody to put my shoulder in place, there was no swelling, and its feeling a lot better really quickly.

Do you guys think I should talk to my doctor anyway, in case it was seperated? Or does it not seem like a seperated shoulder?

You could've sublexed it, or just maybe pulled a muscle. Sounds like you started busting out without a warm up, break dancing can be taxing on your joints and some sort of warm up before hand is probably necessary.

Honestly, to be perfectly safe, you should go see a doc to rule out possible structural damage. But if you say its gotten a lot better you could wait it out another day or two and see what happens and go from there.
