I dislocated my shoulder when I( was 18 playing football :bang: ,I am now 33.Again riding my kdx about 3 months ago. :bang: It hurt for about a month.Then I was at work today and fell off a ladder about 15 feet up. :bang: Out it goes again!!Do they make some kind of shoulder brace to keep my bad shoulder in place while i am riding??(and at work)To be honest the first thing I thought about after I fell today was no riding my green beast for awhile!! :ride: I was pissed!!! :| What type of brace do you reccommend?I found one.Here it is .www.ridegear.com/cgi-bin/softcart.exe/store/product/F-6532_Shoulder_Braces.html?...

I separated my shoulder last season and had to go through about two months of physical therapy. It helped quite a bit. You should really talk to a Dr about getting it fixed. It's likely an issue that can be corrected with PT or a "simple" surgery. I'm 36 and my KDX threw me last year aggravating a similar earlier injury. The Doc told me that if PT didn't work, I'd need to do the surgery. We'll see how this season goes.
Good luck!
PS: Go Red Sox!

If its not cronic, and coming out all the time I'd stay away from sugery until you absolutely have to.
What I did was really build up the muscle in the shoulder and I have no problems.

That's great advice for most injuries, like neck pain, back pain, etc. A Dr. or Chiro will tell you the same. They can adjust, but you have to build the muscle to hold it in place.

Note: AC separation (separated shoulder) vastly different than dislocating (subluxing?) shoulder.

Building the muscle is exactly what worked for me via the PT. It didn't take very long either.
And after last nights mess, forget what I said about the Sox.
