Hello there subluxation of shoulder is a common occourance in contact sports...also in the sport of boxing it is pretty frequent....now to let you knw...shoulder is a very mobile but unstable joint...hence even if you dont have much pain but u will feel dropping of arm and less coordination in arm movement...however if at all you may or may not go for any arthroscopic repair...you would need to strengthn all the muscle structures around your subluxated shoulder...being a boxer this is all the more important...dont worry to much about the clicking sound if it is not associated with pain...work on the strength of shoulders in anti gravity position under the guidance of a physio....i always stress that there are 2 components in rehab...one is clinical and one is sports specific... do consult once with a sports medicine professional and a Sports & musculoskeletal physio. Dont do any self medications and suppliments thats what i always tell my athelets. Do resort back to me regarding any queries. Regards & take care
