I had a dislocated shoulder when I was younger, which I thought would be the most painful thing I ever experienced

And then I separated it about 6 months later...

I didn't rehab it enough though, so the tendons/muscles around it were so weak. I eventually had to have surgery on it. I would suggest taking the rehab very seriously or its a problem you will have for awhile.

I couldn't even throw a baseball or a football without pain, anytime I lifted something above my shoulder it hurt. So make sure you take care of the rehabilitation. Its not something you think would be important but you notice it a lot if its even a little bit out of place.
