Good job foreigner ! This black man rocks !

Even after you pop it back in, it is going to hurt like a bitch.
SMarkt
yeah seek medical support. on the other hand, rugby players play on with broken fingers...
tentaclefriendly
Yeah you still go to the hospital to get that checked out because there might be unhappy nerves and blood vessels that aren't where they're supposed to be
FlatPlutoSociety
Yeah, and even if there's nothing really wrong, getting some antiinflammatories that are a little stronger than what you can get at CVS will make the next day or two a lot more pleasant.

American: How much would that cost and is it worth it?

"bro, you're in China. You don't have to pay American healthcare prices. This will cost less than dinner."

While this little stunt may be ill-advised, man what a lovely display of good sportsmanship.

American healthcare hard at work there. Because no one can afford to see the doctor.

This is in China...

I’m referring to the foreigner who fixed it

Resetting a dislocated shoulder is super straightforward - if you know exactly what you’re doing. The danger lies in the fact to pop the bone back into the joint, you need to use a DECENT amount of force. Fuck this up on an already-injured individual, and you could do some serious damage.
MsHissyPants
You’re not so much guiding the bone back as…you know those kong dog toys? The really thick rubber ones with a hole in the middle you can put peanut butter in? Imagine cramming a golf ball into one of those.
MsHissyPants
Except the dog toy is you and the golf ball is also you.

The good news is: this procedure usually takes about 10 seconds, and you will feel COMPLETELY better in under a minute after. When I had it done it was done by an intern who got it wrong the first couple of times, and it took: 40 seconds. Still felt completely better after less than a minute afterwards, but JESUS those 40 seconds sucked.
MadamPuddifoot
It's actually more like trying to put a golf ball on a tea saucer but with extremely tight rubber bands around them both. Those are the muscles that go into protective spasm after dislocation. Also the damage gets done when it dislocates, NOT when attempting to put it back. Sauce: I'm a professional puter-backer (certified athletic trainer)

I've got a feeling that would've hurt a hell of a lot more without the shock and adrenaline flooding his system.
tricerabottom
It definitely hurts less, the question is how much damage was done in the dislocation. I had a bicycle accident several years ago, where I breaked too suddenly on a decline to avoid a cat, and next thing I knew I was face down on the pavement, not really able to move my right arm, with my bike on my back. Tore the labrum (cartilage) basically all the way round. That night in the ER was shit, because US medicine and potentially busy night. Had to have surgery a month or three later to fix it.

I've had it done to me on a hockey rink before. It feels AMAZING. The pain is when it's out of socket and it moves at all. When it pops back in, it's IMMEDIATE relief. Almost better than sex (so I've been told). The next day is when the swelling and inflammation really kicks in, but for the next hour or so, it's like nothing happened.
BarryTheCyborg
Alternatively, subluxing, when the joint partially dislocates and pops back in, hurts like a bitch and I couldn't move my arm for 5 minutes when it would happen.
Rijacki
Sounds like when I had my broken arm reset. While it was out of place it hurt a lot. As soon as it was back in place, relief. I was amazed.
ilovetraveler
Same thing happens with knee dislocations. It goes from agony to instant relief.
BurningVeryImportantThings
I too choose this persons dislocated shoulder.

The so I've been told means you've never had sex...?

Forcing the joint can cause permanent damage to nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and ligaments. Seek medical attention immediately at the nearest emergency room or urgent care clinic.
MadamPuddifoot
You can't force a dislocated joint back, the muscles won't let you. The joint wants to be back where it belongs. Urgent care won't be able to do anything for you coz after the first few moments you're in too much spasm and must be sedated to reduce it. The damage occurs with the dislocation, NOT the reduction. Sauce: me, the orthopedic professional (certified athletic trainer)
valen00
Also, the longer it's out the worse the healing and outcomes are. Damage can occur during reduction if done improperly or just very unlucky, though in this case it'd be unlikely. Like probably don't try and DIY an elbow.
Exyr
Having dislocated several pints in my youth what he did is what the doctors would have done. That one was quite ready and willing to go back in. This isnt always the case tho plus the doctors came give ypu morphine so when they force it back in you won't feel it.
hotrodny
Morphine doesn't work for everyone. I once got back pain and fell to the floor and couldn't move. If I didn't move it was...ok. If I moved, it hurt. Got morphine, didn't help for the pain in my back, but I felt a slight tingling in my fingers.
haggerton
First responders who are trained in replacing a dislocated shoulder are advised to leave it to the ER doctor.
The problems that arise in the few % of cases that do not go well are not worth the risk. When the ER doctor does it, a bad outcome has an operation room right next to it.
The only times it's ok out of a hospital is if it's someone who pops it back in by themselves all the time then you can let them do it.
Roune
I wish I had your doctors then. Never once have they given me shit for the pain just a on three. One pop it back in
Exyr
Oh thats brutal. Last time I dislocated my patella I had to call an ambulance they shot me up before they even moved me.
Roune
I’ve had a dislocation happen three times and they all sucked super bad. My shoulder was probably the easiest and not too big a deal but my knee and ankle were just horrible. Ankle might’ve sucked the most cuz it also had a couple fractures as well. I might’ve exaggerated the no pain meds as they gave them to me afterwards (for knee and ankle) but I had to have surgery so that’s why the pain meds
MadamPuddifoot
For a patella dislocation? That's dumb. They're insanely easy to reduce, you just apply medial pressure and straighten the leg. I've reduced dozens. Several times on one 4th grader.
Exyr
Whelp tell the four doctors that spent 2 hours trying to get it back in how easy it is.
haggerton
A patella is not in the same ballpark as a shoulder.
You can seriously fuck someone up for a shoulder. For a patella worst case scenario is creating some strain/instability.
