One day I wrestled a Hellacious tag team match in which one of my opponents put about half a table in the corner and threw me into it. I hit it as hard as I could and broke through it but I didn't get hurt. Later on in the show I was chasing another guy we wrestled with when I tripped over that same piece of table (except it was on the outside of the ring now) and I landed on my stomach with my right arm straight up. It dislocated my right shoulder and NO ONE knew how to pop it back in place. So I just waited for my friend's dad to get home because somebody told me he knew how to treat a dislocated shoulder. But when he got there he told me he didn't know how to pop it back in place. So I was pretty much sol but a little while later I was getting in the ring and as I put my knee up on the apron and pulled the second rope for support I felt a pop in my shoulder. It had popped back in place and damn did it hurt. Since then I've re-injured my shoulder about 5 times. I might not have dislocated it when I first injured it, it may have just been a separation because a doctor told me it had been seperated but the first time I hurt it, it felt like my arm wasn't even attached to my shoulder. So even now I don't know if the initial injury was a dislocation or a separation, but I do know that I have separated it since and sometimes when I'm wrestling if I just swing it the wrong way it just goes numb followed by intense pain.

Why didn't you go to hospital when you first injured it, instead of waiting around for someones dad to come home?
