It happened first about 3 years now when i had a dislocated arm and I have been using medication, going to the orthopedic clinic as well as do little exercises with my left hand so it could heal up completely. Since my first experience, I have been very careful not carry heavy loads as well not do anything that will stress my arm. In fact, my left became totally lazy unless for typing and little exercises.

Since it has been a while, I decided to take my exercise a little further without consulting a medical practitioner. I guess I knew the outcome. I just finished carrying a 7 kg filled cylinder with my left hand for about 20 minutes and I felt a little pain while carrying it but I just felt it was cool. I went took a shower and retired back to my phone to start making calls. I was in the middle of a call with a friend Joseph when I felt a sudden shift and heard a sound from inside. I knew immediately, my shoulder was dislocated and I felt the pain like immediately. My brain could read the pain immediately.

I was rushed to the nearest clinic so the dislocated shoulder can be reduced. The pain I felt from my home to the hospital was enough for me to forget the long years of peace and serenity, it was like the song "By the rivers of Babylon". It was like a strange land and the lord song could not be sang there.
When I got to the hospital, the doctor quickly attended to me. Being my personal doctor, he immediately reduced it and then started doing other things as well as giving me pain relieves. I felt 90 times less pain when the shoulder was reduced compared to when it was not reduced. Currently I am home and I just feel little shock when the shoulder moves a little. This time, I will be more careful, allow my shoulder to heal properly and not lay on it.
Pain is not a good teacher but it can help correct a lot. I still feel pains, i do not want to go through this again.
