#33: Dislocated Shoulder by Rolling Ankle
I once dislocated my shoulder by rolling my ankle. My ankle was fine, the shoulder not so much. I have hypermobility, which results in slack tendons in my ankles and shoulder joints, among other things. This makes me more prone to rolling my ankle, but it’s rare to actually hurt it, because the tendons can stretch enough that my ankle bone can be basically sitting on the ground. However, the jerking motion of the ankle roll was enough to pop the joint out of my shoulder socket.
I looked like a right idiot tripping over my feet, bending my ankle at an obscene angle, and then clutching my shoulder in pain. Explaining how my shoulder dislocated to doctors was another adventure.
