Update: Went to the consultant yesterday.
I've chipped a bit of bone off in the dislocation and it's turned to powder. It's now floating around my shoulder joint. Nice.
The good news is I'll be getting an operation to remove the powdery gunk and to re-stabilise my shoulder. Doctor reckons the chance of another dislocation following the op is 3%. Not bad odds.
I hear some small bolts will be inserted into the joint. And no, I won't beep when I pass through a metal detector.

I've dislocated both shoulders in my last two trips from snagging a heel edge, the first one wasn't too bad...the second one was a lot worse and still recovering 8 weeks later, think I started back on the weights a bit too soon.
Still keen to carry on the boarding, just wondered if there was something I needed to watch...snagged heelside due to sloppy turn or poor weight transfer?
Not exactly easy to practice your falls, and it happens bloody quick so it's hard to counter your natural reactions to try and break the fall...anyone have any tips to cut down on the chance of popping the shoulders out again from a fall?

You can tuck your arms in to prevent an arm being dragged along or twisted which is the principal cause of a dislocation. But like you say, it happens bloody quickly and you don't always get the chance.
