| | I have about 2 hrs tunnel time and have reasonable control in basic bellyflying position (the 6 degrees of movement). Unfortunately on New Year's Eve someone fell on me in tunnel and dislocated my shoulder  Realize that people can't give specifics on my case, however is anyone aware of others who suffered the same injury, specifically were they able to get back in the tunnel after rehabilitation and if yes, how long did it take? Am trying to understand what my options are. Interested in any comments - good or bad. Graham

| | I am sure you will get back into the tunnel without future problems. I suggest you find a good physio to work with. They are the ones you should be asking. If it helps cheer you up. I have managed to get back into the tunnel after a nightmare shoulder repair so am sure a dislocation should heal ok. Keep your chin up and keep up the physio |

| | My brother had a re-occuring shoulder dislocation, which he had recostructive surgury for several years ago. There are still actions that he can't risk doing but we went tunnel flying and he was fine. |

| | I was with my physio last Friday. She confirmed that you should get there but will be out of action for a while. She also suggested finding a physio that sorts out shoulders. Good luck Nigel. |

| Thanks for the comments. Saw orthopaedic consultant last week, his comment was that it's highly unlikely I'll re-dislocate due to my age at first injury. So that's the good news... Bad news is I have nerve damage from the dislocation which means my deltoid muscle is effectively paralysed currently. Means I can't even raise my arm above my head. "Very likely" to recover (his words) but could take months. Can't even drive currently.
