Also an osteopath has backed this up. My shoulder now does not sit in the correct place and my husband has been shown how to pop it back into place, but all I have to do is move for a drink and its back out. That in its self causes alot of nerve pain as things are being composed. I'm going to a vascular surgeon tomorrow actually. I just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else? And how common it was. Cheers
