Today, in my self-defense class, we did an attack simulation. As I began to hit my attacker, my fist hit the top of his helmet, dislocating my shoulder. I then spent the next hour in the ER sobbing until it was popped back in. I need to learn to defend myself against myself. FML

Here's what my self-defense coach taught my class: Any minor injury you receive in self-defense is much better than a major injury, or even death, from not defending yourself. In reality you probably would have knocked out your attacker, or at least disoriented them enough to get away. You dislocated your shoulder, but you got away alive, right? It's not very likely you'll ever escape an attack completely unharmed, so don't sweat it. Yeah it sucked that it happened in class, but you know what you need to do.

It took an hour just to pop your shoulder back in?

The shoulder is tho most mobile, therefore fragile, of all articulations. The only way to make it sturdier is to have a good muscle development there.

At least you're determined! Feel better soon.

I have never dislocated my shoulder. I am terrified of it happening. I already don't handle normal aches and pains well, I'd probably make the OP look calm and composed.
