hey samc!!!!!! shoulders can be a real pease of pain. ive had big shoulder problems for the last three years myself. first, our body is not at alll built to do boxing, and im gonna tell u what happens with our shoulder: when training boxing like hitting mitts,heavybag,pushups and so on our front shoulders and shest and abs will get ten times more exersised than our back shouldrers and back will, causing unbalance in the muscles. remember, our muscles is here to hold the gilette and bones up,so what happens when training boxing the front muscle becomes soo heavy,and rembember, our body becomes what we does,so if we sit alot,our body posture becomes bent ouver and out of balance and when training boxing the body becomes realy strong in front,while all our back muscles(witch holdes our body composutre up and balanced) are so weak compared to our front,witch makes our body heavy and at the end dislocates our shoulder.. What u need to do is focus on mutch shadowboxing and light heavybag exercises in the next mont and buy a strech rope to do exercises for the back shlouders,neck and back for the next mont, and do not exercise the front shoulders or chest. and when u sit on the couch or the chear, sit stright up,and press your shoulders back against the sofa or what youre sitting on. go to http://www.coopersguns.com/videos/exercise-encyclopedia/ and cklick on back shoulders and do some of the exercises u find easy and comfortable doing. remember, when training back shoulders its very inportant to not focus on HEAVY weights but to focus on doing the exercises correct!!!!!i recomend using a stretching rope instead of weigts when training back shoulders. the back and neck is okay to use barbells. if ure not sour of how to perform the exerciser,ask someone u knows thath can help u. good luck with your shoulder. if u have any questions u can send me a private text message on eastsideboxing.

 

I will first start by saying I am not a Dr though I went to school to be a sports orthopedic surgeon in University and played American football collegiality. I have been through similar injuries and I am only giving you my opinion.

Since you have had problems with this since childhood I think I would confer with an orthopedic surgeon because it sounds like you need to have surgery to "tighten" up the slack with your tendons and ligaments. Unlike the hip which has a sort of concaved recess in which part of the end of your leg bone (humerus) sits in, the shoulder girdle is held in tact primarily by muscles, tends and ligaments. Once you perpetually tear this network of muscle and connective tissues surgery is likely your only recourse of action for stability.

The problem with surgery is the shoulder is almost never as good as new and why most surgeons will say to put it off until you really need it. Since I assume you are competing then it would behoove you to see someone, get an MRI and have surgery done. They will likely have to scrape out any mangled cartilage along with suturing or screwing of tendons and/or ligaments. All in all rehab sucks and it will likely take 6 months before you get full range of motion and strength back in your shoulder.

maybe you get lucky and just have what they call loose joints or lax connective tissue and it won't require as much surgical repair or time off as the average. Problem is that you will keep popping out your shoulder with such activity unless you get it all tightened up.

Hope this helps.

 

Your situation is what's known as a dysplasia. With the shoulder the socket is very small and shallow; hence, the reason you have such a great range of motion with it. Since it is smaller and more shallow more connective tissue is required to keep it in place. I have the same situation in my ankle and I use to chronically injury and tear ligaments in my ankles when I played competitive sports.

Rest after surgery is on the order of like 4-6 weeks, but you will start physical therapy after that and that takes months to come back from. You think to yourself that it's nonsense that it will take that long, but your arm and shoulder will undergo significant atrophy, while all of the tissue remains static. The **** will hurt to hell, but hopefully it will give you the stability you desire.

Yes, you can rest and let it go on your own, but you will suffer reoccurring issues if you extensively use the shoulder like you do now boxing. What actually ends up happening is that people think they just won't use their arms or limbs certain ways and they end up hurting themselves in other ways they never thought they would. Also, keep in mind that you have a large nerve plexus (brachial) that comes through your shoulder and a future injury while competing or practicing could impinge your nerves or more seriously partially sever it and cause life long nerve issues.
