4 weeks and 2 days ago I went off the side of my bike into a gnarly ass rock garden, put my arm out and seperated/dislocated my right shoulder. IT was a grade 3 seperation and it actually came out the back. Needless to say I missed alot of riding and went from pretty riding/gym daily to nothing but physio and wearing a sling. I feel that im making a pretty decent recovery and ive made leaps and bounds in the Range of motion department. However I litteraly couldnt do anything with my right arm for close to a week and a half and even now theirs a few things I cant do, like put my arm behind my back.
I know that alot of people who have serious shoulder dislocations have re occuring issues if you dont give it the proper time to heal and have it braced so the muscles heal properly. However ive heard that because mine has come out the back, its taking longer to heal but the chances of it happening again are slim.
Does anyone have any insight on this? And similar problems and how long it took to recover fully from it. What was it like getting back on the DH bike after?
Thanks.
