My brother called me and told me he fell and suffered a dislocated shoulder.....has anyone here ever had that or know of someone who did?

Can it be repaired without surgery?

How long is the recovery?

My son in law is an ER doc and deals with them frequently along with other joint dislocations including jaw dislocations. He typically gives a sedative and pops them back into place. Recovery is probably age related as the soreness takes some time to go away. If there is any soft tissue tearing, that can be another problem but as long as nothing is torn or broken, no problemo!

As the United States navigates a fragile ceasefire in its conflict with Iran, the price of oil has remained volatile and high. Brent crude, the international benchmark, was trading at $104.21 per barrel at market close on Monday, nearly 57% higher than its pre-conflict price. Inflation has risen as a result and is in a territory it hasn't been since 2023, according to an analysis by NBC News.

On Tuesday morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly Consumer Price Index update for April. It reported that inflation in April was 3.8%.

This is not good for the GOP going into the midterms.

Trump needs to rip the bandaid off and fuck em up some more, NOW!

A North Carolina gay couple was arrested after police got a tip about possible child sex abuse material possession, according to the Harnett County Sheriff's Office.

Investigators said numerous tips from the Internet Crimes Against Children database in March led them to believe the two men were in possession of child sexual abuse material.

Police performed a search warrant at the Linda Baucom Lane home of the couple identified as 39-year-old Joshua Lee Gilliam and 39-year-old Ronald Wayne Lynch Jr. and seized numerous digital devices.

Both Gilliam and Lynch were charged with first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor based on what was found on those devices.

Lynch faces an additional charge of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, while Gilliam faces additional charges of first-degree statutory sexual offense and indecent liberties with a minor.

The arrest warrants indicate there are at least two victims from September.

The couple first appeared at the Harnett County District Court on Thursday. Gilliam was given no bond, while Lynch was given a $360,000 secured bond.

Online sleuths immediately found social media accounts that appeared to belong to Gilliam. An Instagram profile said the gay couple had custody of five children, all young boys, although a report from the North Carolina Beat said they have four sons together.

It is not known whether their boys are also victims.

One post on the account from March 7, 2021, reads, "Anyone wanna trade pictures with us message us."

Thousands of bottles of a prescription-only pain reliever and fever medication were recalled nationwide due to chemical contamination, according to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recall notice released last week.

The medication under recall has a lot number of 23F02 and an expiration date of May 2026, and another has a lot number of 25A37 and an expiration date of January 2028.

The reason for the recall was due to what it said was the "presence of lead and lithium above specification."

My brother is forty six and a very active police sergeant....it was an anterior dislocation that occurred from an extreme mountain biking fall.....he has a small fracture in his humeral bone.....his MRI which he hasn't had yet will deetermine if he has any labral or rotator cuff tears......he was told by the emergency room doctor that over forty most people have rotator cuff tears.....under forty most people have labral tears.
