What Is The Reason For Stiffness In The Hand After Shoulder Dislocation?

Hello doctor My name is Vidyut Sharma. I m from Jammu. I went for outing with my friends some 3 weeks ago. There my right shoulder got dislocated while I was jumping in the swimming pool. There my friends take me to an ayurvedic clinic. The doctor set the joint back to its position by massage with some ayurvedic oil. After that, the next day we came back to our hometown. Then I consulted an orthopaedic specialist. Till then I m wearing a shoulder immobiliser. I hadn t used any medicine. It seems like my whole arm gets stiff sometimes. What do you recomend ? How many days does shoulder muscles need to heal ? From when I can start my daily routine back ? And from when I can start my gymming again ?? Regards Vidyut Sharma 0000

If you wear shoulder immobiliser for long time, the limb gets stiff. You need to do active movements of the arm and pendulum movements of the shoulder of it is weak. Consult a good Physiotherapist for good results.
