You need to wait a few weeks for sure. Complications of a dislocated shoulder may include:
Tearing of the muscles, ligaments and tendons that reinforce your shoulder joint
Nerve or blood vessel damage in or around your shoulder joint
Susceptibility to re-injury (shoulder instability) if you have a severe dislocation or repeated dislocations
If ligaments or tendons in your shoulder have been stretched or torn, or if nerves or blood vessels surrounding your shoulder joint have been damaged, you may need surgery to repair these tissues.
Most people regain full shoulder function within a few weeks after experiencing a dislocated shoulder. However, once you've had a dislocated shoulder your joint may become unstable and be prone to repeat dislocations. You should probably not ski for at least three or four weeks.
The Mayo clinic has excellent information about care of a dislocated shoulder, so check here.
