Shoulder Issue - Anyone?

Hello guys, I posted this in Ortho but also decided to try the General Thread, since its more active I guess and just wanted to muster up some thoughts..

Basically, one week ago today I dislocated my right shoulder during a volleyball serve, then it went back in a few mins later as a friend helped put it back in. Now, I just got back from the doctor who as an orthopedic, had X-rays taken, and recommended an MRI scan to check and see if a "Torn Labrum" is present or what not.

I can easily move my hand and what not, but if I pull my right hand back a little there is a slight pain/sore feeling at the sight, just a nib.

I am considering Ortho in the future as I very much enjoy the field as well, so I wanted to know if any residents here are in Ortho maybe and can provide some insight as to what this is? It would be a good learning experience.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? My main concern is when can I resume exercise/sports, and he said don't do anything until we get more answers, but I am thinking an MRI is unnecessary at this point but I could be wrong..anyone know anything here? I'm also having the X-rays sent to my main doctor who is a D.O. as he wants to see the results too..

I'll tell you what I think the moderator is gonna say. SDN is not a place for medical advice.

This is not a place to get medical advice. If you want to know about shoulder injuries in general, just do a search in google.

The shoulder is a complex joint. Many common injuries include, but are not limited to: rotator cuff tears, labrum tears, ligamentous injury, ac/sc joint separation, dislocation, subluxation, impingement, ...

Oh absolutely, I knew that right off the bat, just wanted a side experience or anything anecdotal to get shared if anyone knew anything and wanted to comment, that's it, really. Obviously seeing my main doctor for it again, but just wanted complimentary statements or anything like experiences/insight on what people in general might think

As stated above, SDN is not the appropriate venue for medical advice. In addition, multiple similar posts (cross-posting) is a violation of the TOS.
