No surgery recovery
Hello from New Zealand
I am seeing a lot of people are going through surgery I just want some personal experince and also professional opinion on this matter I understand that it depends on how severe the accident was.
The place I stay at is slack with properly treating patients as its free health care to give in example I dislocated my left shoulder skat boarding fell off from about meter and a half reach my left hand backwards and it popped out, I had to wait about 2 and a half hour to put it back in place from doctors they x rayed my shoulder after popping it back in and told me to go back to work the next day I did not have any mri to see if there was ligament or nerve damage either.
My ankle was quite bad in condition but they did not check it either.
Seems like they are not going to push for me to get a surgery as its a big wait list and public funding.
Background I am sort of fit 24 years old male. First dislocation
Questio 1: can you make a full recovery without surgery or is surgery necessary to get close as possible to full recovery
Question 2: since i am likely to not get surgery how do I be careful and get back into work, gyming, hunting, martial arts etc. I do like physical activity.
Question 3: should It be necessary for me to get a mri scan?
