I dislocated it falling to the ground with another dude locked in my embrance in judo. Ridiculous amounts of pain the first time. It happened last December around christmastime.

I did some rehab then went back too early because I'm addicted to judo. My shoulder has since then dislocated 3 more times. It's ridiculous how easily it comes out now. I know, I know. It doesn't even hurt that much anymore when it pops out.

The last time it happened was not even in randori, just got thrown in a practice throw.

I've pretty much stopped going to judo, which sucks because I love it. Goddamn it.

edit: yes - I'm trying to do rehab. I have some exercises to do but don't feel it's effective enough :(

Your labrum is most likely torn. Same thing happened to me except I was wrestling. It will keep popping out no matter how much rehab you do. Don't be like me and keep training and letting it pop out, I've dislocated it probably like a dozen times or more and from the ball slamming into and out of the socket has really torn up the cartilage there, now I've got some nasty arthritis and bursitis. Arthritis as a 25 year old sucks, trust me. You should get surgery if you can and rehab it fully before you start training again, or take time off and lift weights or do other exercise where you aren't in danger of it popping out.

Are you loving kidding me. Surgery? :gonk:
No way I'm getting surgery, I can't afford it.

When I went to the physical therapist a while ago it was a bit ambiguous whether it was an anterior or posterior dislocation. However, when I do the thing when you puff your chest out and swing your arms horizontally to the back – once my right arm is about 10 degrees past my side, I can start to feel my shoulder coming out. Ugh.

Edit: My plan was to try to lift a lot and build up the muscles in my shoulder so I can do judo again.

Edit: I just figured out – when my arm swings toward the back, my shoulder WILL dislocate if my palm is facing up. If my palm is down then it feels fine. There’s definitely something hosed up in there.

Yah, I've been told the same thing by my physiotherapist. Dislocated my shoulder twice. It feels pretty solid but I wont be going back to BJJ for a long while. Go see a shoulder specialist, dont be doing this on your own because it WILL pop out again if its not tight enough. Not to mention if it almost pops out like the way you mentioned!

The ligaments in your shoulder once stretched never heal the second dislocation around, so its very likely you'll need surgery with a third one. Sorry buddy, I know, Im in the same boat, it sucks. The surgery is pretty minor, its arthoscopic and its a day procedure. You'll be out 6 months after it but theoretically your shoulder should be back to normal.

Yeah. It doesn't seem like my shoulder is healing. Maybe surgery is the only option :(

I can't afford it though
