Shoulder quivers when yawning
Hello, I am recovering from shoulder dislocation which happened last month. While the pain is still there and I have only started to move my arm slowly. I have noticed that when I yawn, my same shoulder and upper arm slightly quivers. Is it only because the muscles are still weak and healing? Or there is any other underlying cause?

If during yawning, the limb is in such position that is subjected to instability, you might feel apprehension of redislocation, which you have mentioned as quivering.
Next Steps
Avoid provocative limb positions.
