Viking 0 #1 January 28, 2003 Today i went in for the normal pre-season physical for swim team. I told them about my right shoulder popping out and then right back into socket on Friday during practice. They took a look at both my shoulders and discovered that my joints are very loose. They were able to partially dislocate them again with very little effort. Didn't hurt one bit. So i go in the next room and the Doc takes a look at my shoulders too. Its not long before every medical student, nurse, and curious person is watching this guy dislocate my shoulders while i just sit there and go "Nope doesn't hurt" They are all kinda freaking out b/c not even the doc has seen someone with joints like mine. lol so i put my shirt and shoes back on and tell them about all the other wierd things i can do(turn my feet backwards, pop both my shoulder blades up off my back, make my left thumb look likes its broken, and a few others). By the time i get out of there i have about half the medical staff waiting for me to turn my head around in circles and spit split pee soup at them. So now i have to go into the trainer at 10 tomorrow and start shoulder strengthing excercises. Now i know how i can arch like a wet noodle! I heard one of the docs say that its a hereditary(sp) thing.

mujie96 0 #7 January 28, 2003 You know, I can put my feet behind my head...perhaps we can get together and breed extremely flexible, loose-jointed baby Vikings. Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry81 10 #8 January 28, 2003 Greetings, brother! It's nice to hear there are other skydivers as flexible as me out there. (I can't dislocate my shoulders, but I can, however, pop out my shoulderblades, touch them together, touch the back of head with my hand the hard way, bend my fingers in too many directions, make funny noises with most of my joints and, occasionally, my spine, and bend so far backward/forward that my head almost touches the groundIt's just too bad not many women can fully appreciate our special abilities.

kevin922 0 #10 January 28, 2003 Man.. that reminds me of lethal weapon when mel gibson gets out of the straight jacket by dislocating something. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QTPi 0 #11 January 28, 2003 I saw a trainer yesterday for my shoulder too. I haven't popped it out yet but it has been hurting. He pulled my arm down and there was this huge gap between my shoulder and my arm. I've always been able to do it but never thought about it giving me problems skydiving. He said I have very loose joints and gave me some exercises to do. He also said that redheads and fair-skinned people are more prone to this.

Muenkel 0 #17 January 28, 2003 QuoteHe also said that redheads and fair-skinned people are more prone to this. Are you a redhead? Holy Shit!!! Another redhead here. When I was a kid, my shoulders would dislocate all the time and it never hurt. Of course when the doc put them back in, it hurt like a bitch. However, it never happened as an adult. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbarnhouse 0 #19 January 28, 2003 Well i have the same issue and can dislocate my right shoulder at will. Strengthening around the shoulder is the way to go to prevent serious injury. You go Viking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was asking Viking why his flexibility would cause people to make "Pot jokes" then, as an aside: "Zenni, GROSS" on account of your reply to Viking ("So, How you doin?")

Enrique 0 #22 January 28, 2003 They took a look at both my shoulders and discovered that my joints are very loose. *** Nah! I don't believe you! You're kidding, right? Man, after watching you at the DZ turn your feet backwards, your elbows do a 360 on axis, touch your ear with your tongue, etc., etc., etc., even I could tell your joints are veeeeery loose.

QTPi 0 #23 January 28, 2003 Wow! What did you do that would regularly dislocate your shoulders? I'm double-jointed all over too which makes for some really interesting tricks. I can turn my arms out so that they look like they're not even attached to my body (that's something I'll have to add to my resume!)
