Has anyone had a shoulder reconstruction?

[Best Coast]

8 years ago (i'm 22 now) i was at school and was punched in the shoulder by some dude. I felt a crack and my shoulder hurt for a few weeks. He got me right on the edge of the shoulder (i think on the collar bone) and its been angled slightly down ever since. I forgot about it for years cos it hasn't hurt but now the pain is catching up with me. Would it be possible to hva esomething done like a reconstruction or metal pins/plate put it to help stabilize it?

BAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAH

You wont need a shoulder reconstruction because you got punched - that is the softest thing I have ever heard in my life. Maybe you could get some Voltaren pain relief cream to ease what is most likely arthritic. This tickled my funny bone - shoulder reconstruction from a punch!

I think i need to have my finger amputated because i got a paper cut a few years back and the other day i looked and there was a scab - might be gangrenous if im not careful!

Oh and welcome to BigFooty

Gee thanks for your help rave slave. I can feel the bones aren't aligning and there is no stability compared with the other shoulder thats why i thought pins or a plate may help.

I've had one (skiing accident) and I think it's best you see a doctor or grow some balls before thinking about a reconstruction for a punch on the arm. Hilarious.

Left shoulder been done twice. Serves me right for my careless tackling during club rugby matches.

My partner has had a shoulder reconstruction and is about to have another.

sounds like it's getting a bit arthritic, certainly doesnt sound like it warrants a shoulder reconstruction though. A doctor will probably just tell you to take some panadol for the pain, or if it's quite bad they'll give you some steroidal-type drugs to ease inflammation.

Ok maybe not a reconstruction but what about putting a stabilising device in like pins or a plate to stop it from moving where it's not supposed to?

Don't reply if you're just gonna laugh

I'm due for one soon
THEN my hips..
Then my knees... etc. etc. etc.
All my joints dislocate for no reason - but particularly when i'm sleeping - only when I wake up does it feel like a b*tch...

I apparently have far too much collagen in my body apparently...
Went to see an orthopedic surgeon, and was literally just twisting my joints going 'Doesn't that hurt??? ' - I wasn't paying him to be fascinated

Bollocks, given the timeframe, i'd say it is arthritic, but they'll probably just as Dr Nick said, prescribe something steriod-related and suggest some sort of physio to build up the strength in the area... *shrug*

I am not sure but I would DEFINITELY go get it checked out better safe than sorry eh?

Good luck with whatever treatment you end up getting. Bung shoulders are possibly one of the more irritating injuries to have, always leads to other problems as well. I am currently building up a bit around the shoulders so by the time the footy season comes along I won't have to take Nurofens like they are smarties after every game just to get to sleep!
