Answers:
You should go to the emergency room and have them check that out. That sound scary. You might have ripped a nerve or something like that.

Other Answers:
you should probably go back to the docter. exspecally since you cant feel or move your arm
ARE YOU CRAZY GO TO THE DOCTOR
u have 2 c ur doctor make an appointment
Get back to see a Dr. That doesn't sound good at all. Sounds like something has gotten pinched and is cutting off the nerve function.
go back to a&e
Or go to www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk
you have been to a doctor, right? i have had mine and it took a very long time to heal i had numbness for a long time, like a week.
If you haven't had a doctor reset your shoulder, you better see one pronto.
It is because the nerves could have been parylized for a while.

Kind of like when you hit your funny bone you should probaobly have a doctor check it out
It is time to go to the doctor! The numbness can be a sign of nerve damage or excessive swelling at the point of trauma. either way just go to the doc to check it out
Well both my boyfriend and my brother have broken there collar bone and they never had said anything about numbness or not being able to feel their arm.. I think you should get to a doctor right away..Could be something serious..
I had the exact same symptoms, but it turned out my shoulder was broken in 2 places.

Maybe you need to at least call the doctor who re-located it and describe the symptoms?
My uncle got into a car accident and that happened to him. He can't drive, and he can't lift his arm or move his fingers or hand. or anything. Even now, like 2 or 3, or 4 years(..i can't remember.) after he still can't move his arm. I don't know if it is normal. But you should talk to a doctor about it. That's a definite.

it sounds to me like a trapped nerve, hopefully nothing more serious, you should have an xray or cat scan done to investigate the damage further, and dont worry, with the help of a physiotherapist, you willl regain movement and feeling.
i dislocated my knee skiing in february, ended up having surgery on it to remove grit. i'm still recovering but i swear by physiotherapy, it's amazing. you have to do all the exercises given every day or you'll be wasting your time and money!!
dislocations can take weeks to heal you will not be able to move your arm because the tendons take time to heal i have done this loads of times it is very normal you should still have it strapped up at this stage it is very painfull i know
i dunno
I dislocated my right shoulder in a car accident and had a similar problem with numbness, weakness and pain. The ulnar nerve was pinched by the joint, in my case. Once my swelling went down, the problem resolved itself over about a month, but I had to have ultrasounds and an x-ray to keep an eye on it. Please go back to A&E or at the very least return to your doctor. You can incur long term damage from pressure on nerves.
GO TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM--NOW! Let them check it out and decide if this is something you can expect or if it's considered "normal" for someone who has had a dislocated shoulder. On the chance of nerve damage, the longer you wait, the less chance of a successful recovery.
did you not go to a doctor.

(Scream) GO TO A DOCTOR NOW!!

and bye the way.. get well soon
