Putting back a dislocated shoulder

[SPQR]

I was fixing a step in my condo, and lost my balance. In trying to brace myself from falling down the stairs I dislocated my shoulder.

I have dislocated it before but had someone put it back in for me. I managed to do this alone this time.

I had to lean foward as far as I could, then using my other hand yank and twist on the dislocated arms and it popped back into place.

Anybody else ever had this experience?

If it's happened before, it's not that big a deal. A guy I knew used to have his pop out regularly and he would just swing his arm and it was back in. First couple times, I would probably want a doc to check it out (just to make sur ethere wasn't more damage/crack).
