Yes, this is the voice of experience speaking... believe it or not, every time I hurt mine, it was on a golf course... subluxations hurt like hades when they happen, and are sore for a few hours afterward, but they're really not all that big a deal... some NFL players had long careers in spite of this condition, my understanding is there is a kind of harness that can support the shoulder...
A buddy of mine has the same thing happen. His shoulder will go at almost any moment but he recovers from it pretty quick.
He underwent surgery a few years back to try and fix it but he said that it still happens every now and then.
