My arm is falling off!! Help?

I am sure I have seperated my shoulder, however, I still have two weeks of rugby (three playoff games) to play, but my shoulder is getting more painful. I also need to know, is it better to put a hot water bottle on my shoulder OR, to ice it?Also, am I risking a huge injury if I keep going with an injury? (it cracks and I can wiggle my collar bone around ("pop" it out if you will). And, my last inquiry, what kind of rehab will my seperated shoulder need? (cast, surgery, physio?) Anything will help. Thanks.

Try going to an orthopedist. He may prescribe a antiinflammatory. Or you may need surgery. He will tell you if it is safe to continue playing. I would say ice is better for a new injury.
Reply:Surgery then lots of therapy. Get to the dr. and he/she will tell you what you need to do.
Reply:Sop playing. I hurt my shoulder last February and am still doing physical therapy. I will have pain there the rest of my life.
