There's always the possibility of having it dislocated for a wrong position of my right arm. I got it dislocated since I was in college. Now i'm 44.

VJ (above post) is studying the abridged manual of orthopedic surgery. (Peg between the bones? ah, no.. . not how it is done, son.)
You are a "chronic dislocator". You have an instability of the shoulder joint, because the soft tissues (muscles and ligaments) that usually keep the ball in the socket are unable to do so. In some cases, a person can be trained with dynamic exercises to retain the ball in the socket, but it does not always work, and surgery may be necessary.
You would probably do well to see an orthopedic surgeon, someone who works alot with shoulders. Tell them to refer you for physical therapy. You will want to see a PT who is board-certified in orthopedic or sports PT (OCS or SCS after their name).
Go to APTA.org, click on "find a PT" , and search your home area.
Good luck!

Dislocation of shoulder generally occurs when there is a considerable gap between the two bones (of the shoulder) to which the bone of the arm is attached. With increased dislocations, the gap increases and so the frequency of dislocation tends to increase. The dislocation problem must have started because the first time it dislocated, it must have not been treated properly.
There are a few treatments available for dislocation. The older operations led to restricted movement of the arm, but the new treatments involved have even solved that problem. After such an operation (where they put in a peg between ur shoulder bones) u should b able to use ur arm normally.
I would suggest u consult an orthopedic who will be able to direct u towards the best treatment for ur arm

I know >10 ways to reduce a dislocated shoulder. Strengthening the muscles around the joint can reduce the chance of recurrence, but ultimately, it needs a referral to an orthopod and surgery.

Get your XRAYdone and consult orthopaedic surgeon because it may need surgical correction.
