I guess this was my main question. About 5 years ago, I went to my orthopod with some serious shoulder pain. He never did an X-Ray or MRI, but just from feeling the movement and comparing shoulders, decided that it was subluxation (from swimming, dancing, tennis, goalie in soccer, gymnastics, etc) and had me do PT. I did the PT for a few months and it really helped - - haven't had any problems since. As of last night, though, it's back - -with a vengence!! It's never hurt like this before and it's not the same sensation by any means. It still dislocates (it always has, regardless of therapy/exercise), so I don't think that's the main problem. I have to go in Monday to get it checked out, but I'm a little nervous. I don't know what to expect - - Knees are my specialty, not shoulders!!
