Question:
Can Rapid Weight Loss Aggravate Subluxation Problems?

Can rapid weight loss affect a surgically repaired shoulder subluxation problem?    — Kelly B. (posted on June 17, 2000)

I would say No to your question about subluxing shoulder... I work in sports medicine. When they fix your shoulder they are actually tightening up the capsule that surrounds the joint. You should have done rehabilitation after surgery to also help strengthen the muscles around the shoulder for more stability. You did not state what specific surgery you had. But no, weight loss should not cause any problems, many of the athletes that I deal with vary in weight. Usually when they are injured and not playing sports they gain... then they go back to normal activities and lose the weight again.
