Ireland I'm an 18-yr-old rugby player from Ireland and have been experiencing shoulder problems for the last one and a half years. The first time I did - it was when I was playing rugby in South Africa. I went for a diving tackle with
my arms outstretched in front of me. As I landed, my left arm took most of the force. I then felt my shoulder 'pop out'. And then about a second later 'pop back in again'. I got X-rayed, but they said everything was o.k. My shoulder was still sore though
and I kept getting 'clicking' sensations. I took a 2-month break before returning to rugby. Then about 3 months later I did it again. This time somebody was running at me and I outstretched my left arm. My left arm went with him, while my body stayed with
me! Again I felt the popping in and out. I took a 2-week break and got physio and acupuncture on it, which helped. Then about 6 months later, I did it for a 3rd time - and now just last weekend for a 4th time. The exact same sensations. But now, my shoulder
is a lot sorer. I have been to 2 physios and both have said I have shoulder instability and I was on a 3-month program with one of them where I did a lot of exercises and weights. The physiotherapy did strengthen my shoulder but there must be something wrong
if I keep getting injured. What are your thoughts on this? What do you think I should do? Should I go see an orthopedic surgeon or should I go back to my physio? What do you recommend? I would really like to hear your views. From Dr. Sanders
