What is the first aid when you have bone dislocation?

For arm dislocations at the shoulder, position the victim on a flat surface a few feet above the ground. Tell them to hold a weighted object in their hand while letting their arm dangle over the side of the surface. Though it seems counter-productive, the slight amount of weight will help the bone reposition itself in the socket. Other forms of dislocation should be treated by trained medical personnel as there is no easy fix for them. Ice the dislocation for no more than 20 minutes and give 2-400mg ibuprofin or 500mg acetamenophen to help with pain. Splint the injury in place to prevent movement.
