Several member of our San Diego Heartbreakers womens ice hockey teams
have had repeated shoulder separations.
Some have come back the next day, some have taken weeks. I think it
depends on the severity of the separation.
The way it looks to me is that once they separate it, it comes out
easier the next time and easier until they finally give up and get
surgery. One of our coaches had surgery after it being in and out for
years. He was out for about a month (he coached anyway). Now he's
back to running around me :(

Annie, I know how you feel. I have had this injury before as well; I was
out for about a month. I went to an athletic therapy clinic every day for a
couple of weeks, then every other day for another few. I definitely suggest
going to a therapy clinic and having it assessed. The therapists will give
you an honest opinion on how long it will take you to return, based on the
severity of the injury.
Don't forget to ice!

I broke my collarbone playing soccer this year andwas
out for 5 weeks. I played soccer the day I was
cleared, got shoved down a few times and had no
problems. That same week I also played hockey and had
no problems. It all depends on your own body and how
quick you heal. I was a lucky one.

After having been cut from the U of Sask and now convicted of assault, this
woman wants to become a "professional hockey player". Hmmm:

Annie,
The amount of time you'll take to heal depends on a few things:
1. Did you SEPARATE your shoulder, or DISLOCATE it? Megan is right that
Ziggy Palffy was only out 4 weeks with a separation -- buy that's a
totally different injury than a dislocation. Think Peter Forsberg here --
he's had several separations over his career, but an NHL'er early in the
season (whose name escapes me) dislocated his shoulder and was done for
the entire season.
Sometimes people -- even paramedics -- use the words "separation" and
"dislocation" interchangably, but they aren't the same injury, as I
discovered in January 1998 when I totally dislocated my left shoulder.
2. What was the extent of the injury itself? Some separations are minor;
others cause more damage that takes longer for the body to repair. In the
case of dislocations, you can have a very clean dislocation or a
complicated one that involves pinched nerves, torn muscles or ligaments,
or other damage that takes time to heal even after the shoulder is put
back in place.
3. What sort of rehab are you doing? Rest assured that in either a
separation OR dislocation, you will lose flexibility and strength in your
shoulder and the surrounding muscles, and you'll need to actively rehab
them to get back into game shape.
It doesn't sound like you've seen an Orthopedist yet; I'd highly recommend
it, though. After about a week, they can assess the damage you've done
and give you a more accurate forecasts for how long it's going to take you
to heal. They can also give you some exercises for rehabbing your
shoulder, which you should try to do religiously, to strengthen it and
avoid re-injury.
If you dislocated it, you should expect to be out at least 3 months -- I
know this from experience, unfortunately. I had a full anterior
dislocation, and I couldn't use the arm for much at all for about a month.
I drive a standard car, and steering was nearly impossible with that arm,
not to mention trying to wash my hair. I just could barely lift it at
all.
After I started to at least be able to use my arm, I went through nearly 4
months of 2x/week physical therapy appointments to get back my full range
of motion. I started playing hockey again about 4 months after the injury
(against my doctor's advice, I'm ashamed to say), but it was a full YEAR
- -- a whole YEAR! -- before I had all my strength back in that shoulder.
Now this is all with a dislocation -- I am not sure exactly how a
separation heals, so I'll let someone else with experience in that area
help you there. If you haven't seen an orthopedist, you really should.
I do hope you heal quickly in either case, and let us know how you're
doing! If you'd like more information, feel free to email me privately.

I don't remember hearing anything about this Donna Reaburn, the coach who
was said to be "a former goalie for the national women's hockey team",
either. Double Hmmm.
Louise,
just home from the final FUNdamentals (5-7 year old) game of the season,
with a bag full of tiny dirty hockey sweaters and a gold medal :-)

I separated my shoulder at the end of the 1994-95 season. Eeee, what
an awful injury; I don't envy you at all! It took a month before I
could shoot again (with pain still), and 2 months before my shot was
starting to get back to normal. I've heard several people say that
they never really regained the full range of motion in their shoulder
joint afterwards. I find that my muscles around the shoulder joint are
still always stiff (5 years later!).
