After shoulder dislocation, Pictures/video showing very limited range of motion in shoulder!

video done JUN 4th 2018:

Demonstrating how I still have limited range of motion a long time after my dislocated shoulder occurred the night before Easter(APR 1). Video done JUN 4. I can use my uninjured left arm to stretch my injured right arm further which demonstrates some of my shoulder muscles in my right arm do not function at this time! I do continue to stretch my right arm with and without the help of my left arm! I do swing a 5 lb dumbbell through this range of motion I have in my right arm to strengthen it and can do a bicep curl holding two 5 lb dumbbells in my right hand. Also can do a squat to chest exercise two handed with 20 lb dumbbell for over 1 minute now!

My range of motion in my right arm is quite limited. I did have my dislocated arm worked on at the VA hospital ER on Easter morning and I am sure the professionals brought in on call after me waiting a number of hours in pain did the best they could with the help of Xrays! I just had a lot more damage from my very hard fall onto a concrete sidewalk than just a dislocation as pain in elbow, hand, upper arm, shoulder and ribs for weeks after accident continuing to the present seems to indicate. Have not been back to VA hospital since missing a walk in type appointment due to not finding parking in massive traffic jam at hospital 8 days later on a Tuesday! I was in pain and my friend driving was also in pain due to injuries still healing from an car accident around Halloween! I gave up on the VA which was hard to get rides to and which may have costed me time and money I could not afford with my dire financial situation!
