At my volleyball tryouts i pulled my shoulder out of place when i was spiking the ball.....?

Question

It went right back into place but its 4 days later and i can only lift it foward and up. I cant move it backwards or it feels like something is being pinched. And sometimes when im just walking it will kind of slip, not out, but like stretch. What can i do to help that.

Answer 1

Not something you want to take lightly, go see a doctor. Good chance you stretched a ligament and it needs to be treated.

Answer 2

take it easy at practice or streach it so it is used to it.. if you test your arm out alot ir will heal rapidly!

Answer 3

strech it before practice, ice it, maybe use a sling for a week or so and see how it feels, maybe go see a doctor if it gets worse or doesnt improve
