Any one who has read my previous posts knows that I've been having some shoulder problems. I've been to the doctor several times and everything has been going good. I've been doing rotator cuff strenghting exercises for about a month, every day, and the doc said that my shoulder strength was doing very well. But for about the last week or so, it has been aching down in the AC joint where my bones are rubbing and clicking together (one is sliding under the other), causing the pain. I thought that since my shoulder was stronger that it should be holding my bones in place, but it started aching like it hasn't improved at all. Then the other day at work, I was carrying a bucket of ice and the muscle on top of your arm..not sure what's it's called, not the bicep but the one that is to the outside... felt pulled and it kept felling like it was pulling my shoulder joint down; it kinda felt like it was pulling it out of place downward, and the doctor said that my shoulder only popped out slightly to the front now so I've been doing back exercises. Now today my whole shoulder is sore. Has anyone else with shoulder problems experienced something like this before? Should I go back into the doctor or just take ibuprofen (sp?) regularly and keep doing my exercises. Thanx!

I know this isn't good, but I have tried to dislocate it before (by holding on to something and dropping it) because it had felt unstable sometimes and I wanted to make sure that it wasn't slipping, it never did until the other night when it felt like it had slipped out or was slipping out. I have been doing my own physical therapy, and like I said, the doctor said that it was doing good. As far as slipping goes, the other day was the first time since I dislocated it that it felt out of joint. Do you think that one event is enough to seek a specialist? It has been healing really well and was just sore until the other day.
