Brief Answer:
Get an MRI of shoulder done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

From description it seems that you are suffering from recurrent dislocation of shoulder due to instability of shoulder joint. It occurs due to ligamentous or capsular laxity or due to some bony defect.

I suggest you to get an MRI of shoulder done to see the cause of instability of shoulder.

You can share your report with me or with your orthopaedician.

Hope this will helps you. Let me know if you have any more concerns.

Take care.
