Here is my disclaimer.   Go see your doctor.  My advice is just that,advice.   Without knowing the true extent of your injury you may put yourself  at risk for further damage or future issues.  You need to be sure it is back in place.
 
All that said.  Common treatments would include. 
Ice and NSAIDS if you can take them  (alleve, advil, naproxen)   to keep the swelling down.  A sling to immobilize it  as you need to give the affected ligaments a chance to heal.   6 weeks is a good time frame to heal  for a dislocation/ subluxation .  
 
 
Partial dislocations (subluxations) are usually reserved for folks that have had previous injury as the ligaments are stretched  and they can spontaneously reduce on their own.   A true dislocation usually  requires a manual reduction.  You may in fact had a subluxation and it popped back in. Pain usually decreases once it is back in.  You may have torn something and at the least you stretched a few things out
 
Limit movement,  keep the swelling down and take er easy for a bit. 

I waited three days before going to my Doctor when I fell back in September, and I got a good bit of grief from him about the delay.  My leg is still not back to its totally original shape. 
 
I think you need to invest in some hockey goalie pads for going fishing in 2B!  A totally padded suit, with a helmet  mounted rod!

The doc says take miloxicam (1 pill equals 12 advil) and hydros and stay off it for 4 to six weeks.
Four too six weeks off from work and no holding the rod.
(at least til it doesn't hurt so much I'm guessing he meant)

Oh I might get out some.
The action of reeling is painful at this point dime.
Couple that with having to pull all the line and change over to right hand retrieve  and its a pain in the atz
Probably wait til I feel comfortable fighting the fish lefty then changing to the right to pick up line.
I'm sure I will work out the details once this storm is gone and the meds are taking the edge off a bit.

Well what he says is I have a 5 pound weight limit.
The rod weighs much less than that.
The moment of setting the hook may add more than that but if I am fishing lefty that isn't an issue.
As long as I am not fighting the fish righty I think I can stay within the guidelines.
Strip line and only switch hands to reel once the fish is holding in place with little pressure on him.
 
And not until the pain level has eased first.

Thanks Tunes.
 
Ya that was me after my neck surgery.
That was the year of the kumbaya party.
Hooked kings but could only get 1 to cooperate and let me pictofy him.
Couldn't take the chance of pressuring them so if I couldn't fool them into doing what I wanted they won.
That A OK in my book.
 
 

I sent a message to USGS asking how they get ice with 38° water temperatures.  New Federal rules of Physics!  But after last night there is definitely ice!
 
It is cold enough this am to freeze the line in the guides while the rod is still in the car!

Luckh, n. Sandy's flow gauge has been iced for 3 weeks now. No cfs but it does read gauge height... even when it warmed up it was reading ice...didn't understand it myself. I was very optimistic towards fishing there last Saturday for the few hours I had, but didn't want to chance it due to the ice reading... it had blown out the weekend before Christmas with that rain event when salmon river went up to 3500.

Twob... fish on!!! With 1/0 hooks...lol!!!

Well too cold and my arm isn't up to fishing anyway so passing the time
 
 

Over the last few years I have gotten into the big stuff more and more.
In the fall when fish the SR a lot I usually start with my standard west coast patterns #6 but especially on slow days I find the big stuff wakes something up when nothing else seems to.
Winter is when I have really gone to them.
Everybody else is going small and drab mostly or egg flies .
Hasn't really let me down yet this year.
Getting as many hits as most of the pinners.

Absolutely.
Istarted this expecting fewer but bolder takes.
What I haver found is that if there are aggressive fish around they will find it and try to kill it.
 
When the fish are logy I may not get as many hook ups as the tiny and dark with a long #4 pound tippet fishers but they will be solid grabs and it won;t be much less in number.
Side benny is I am fishing these just off bottom so I have only lost 3 to snags all year and #10 floro is the lightest I have gone.
Mostly its been #10 or 12 ultra green so its time for a tug of war not a follow and wait game when I do hook up.
 
Still never had a # day like I have had fishing #6 traditional  patterns so they are still my go to in the fall but I am trending big more often as it gets colder now.
Sorry about the long winded response but this weather and shoulder combo have me bored to tears.
 
Need more detailed ice stories please.

  Just saw they are calling for 80" in the next 72 hours and they are closing down 81. So much for a trip anytime soon for me.

The river isn't supposed to get a 1/4th that.  Or less. Friday looks to be a great day in the mid-30's, Sat. warmer, but rain  showers. Wayne, it's lots shorter to   go through Rome and up 13 than it is to get on 81. It's a minimum 1/2 hr.,  more like 45 minutes shorter; especially to the upper around Altmar. If you thought about going later this week, I wouldn't totally write it off.

Fichy it all comes down to how and when they go about draining a bit off the top of the res in advance of the assumed heavy run off to come.
Haven;t looked at the site but it might be wise to pump an extra 500 or 1000 right now and have that much less left so an over the floodgates event doesn't happen next week.

OK just went and looked.
750 thru wed.
With everything locked tight on the Tug that will siphon a little but 1250 now would feel better to meand then they might only need to hit 1500 at the first sign of warm rain.
 
But of course they are getting paid to know what they are doing not me.
