Dislocated shoulder. It was dislocated for me by a crazy person. I didn't pop it back in because there was also a fractured collarbone and lots of other injuries. Took me two months on that total shoulder package healing. The shoulder is still stiff 25 years later.

I'm guessing your finger swelling and pain will diminish within three weeks or so, but possibly up to six. Advil's great, as is that ice and any elevation you can give it. So sorry that happened to you, Demeter!
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Ever dislocate a body part? There I was yesterday evening, trudging up the street in 4 inch wedges, carrying a briefcase, a heavy bookbag, a purse, and my IPOD, and I tripped on a bump in the sidewalk. I fell hard on my knees, and apparently also caught myself with my right hand- I looked down and my middle finger was bent at a perfect right angle! It was the weirdest looking thing ever I have ever seen- at first I thought I broke it! But then I straightened it up, and it popped back into place! WHOA- good thing I hadn't Rating: 5
