In what direction is the shoulder dislocating?

Taping or wrapping is always a good idea for increasing stability and you could couple it with the sling if you wish.

Some people have 'looser' shoulder joints than others but I highly doubt that the shoulder is actually coming out of the socket that many times a day especially if it is in a sling, as that would mean the ligaments are useless and surgery is necessary.

Pain killers can help but look for a long term solution for increasing joint strength and stability. Omega-3 fatty acids are very beneficial for joints. Fresh pineapple is also good for healing.

take him back to doctor/hospital and ask for some better method of pain control. No one need be in pain like this, also stress that the shoulder keeps popping out, they might find another way to dress it to keep in still.

If he's in agony, go to A and E; otherwise go to your surgery. He may need surgery to keep it in place. If you can ask for a referral to the Robery Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Gobowen, Nr. Oswestry, Shropshire. They have consultants who specialize in shoulders and will assist your son. You can ask to be referred there from anywhere and they see patients from all over the UK.

You should really see a doctor! Because if its dislocating and you keep on putting it back in, when you put it back in There is a chance of getting a nerve or vain trapped in it and that might kill him. So see a doctor.

take him to see a dr
