What holds a shoulder in position is "ligaments".They do not heal like muscle,they have too little blood flow.
The trick is to build well a muscled shoulder so that "muscle" is taking on more of the role of keeping the shoulder in position.
I speak from experience.

Yes; I dislocated mine several years ago in a training accident and it hurt a lot and I could not do a lot with it for several days. I put ice on it right away and then alteranted heat and ice the next few nights just so I could get some sleep and I could not sleep on that side for a week or so. I have a high threshold for pain so for it to be that painful told me that it was serious but if I gave it time and knew it should be alright as long as any of the muscles had not been adversly affected. It had gone back into place on its own almost after it happend so I had that in my favor also. It is fine now but I am fairly old and don't have people yanking on it and putting pressure on it like you may have if you are fighting or wrestling. Sometimes they don't always go back into place just right or at all and then obviously that means a doctor visit and maybe some follow-up physical therapy. Some of your sports medicine clinics can give you a good idea as to what is wrong if it is still a problem or recommend a course of action to try and resolve whatever problems you may still be having.
Injuries sometimes heal and won't be problems or they can be problems that atheletes (including fighters) have to deal or contend with. At the far end of the scale they can also end people's careers so if you are fairly young, want to stay active in sports, and especially if it is giving you problems now then you want to get it checked out and if surgery is recommended get a second opinon. From that you can then make a better, and more informed decision as to what is best for you and your situation.

If your shoulder dislocated once, it can be dislocated again.
Basic anatomy 101: Your joints are held together via ligaments that hold the structures together. If these ligaments stretch they allow subluxation (partial or complete dislocation.
Ligaments do not tighten on their own, once stretched they remain in their stretched state.
However, if you can maximally build the strength of the muscles surrounding a structure, namely the shoulder, you can reduce the chance of a dislocation. This would mean training your shoulders as much as possible. I would train the rotator cuff muscles as well as posterior, medial, and anterior deltoids. Avoid silly moves like "barbell presses behind the head" as they actually stretch your shoulder ligaments in a position that is unnormal and unhealthy.
If you make your shoulders very strong, and have no problem, then be happy, just keep them strong. If you still have dislocations occur, you may need surgery to tighten the ligaments. This is painful and will require a long rehabilitation.

I injured my left shoulder several years ago. There was rotator cuff damage and I went thru six month of physical therapy and while it felt better right after the physical therapy was over, there was no long term help.
The physical therapy occured in 1998 and 1999.
I was stiff for several years as the result of this.
My insurance had run out and all I could do is reach out to the Lord and He heard me and healed me.
The Lord even announced my healing on national TV.
I was in Virginia Beach and was attending the live production of the 700 Club when Gordon Robertson received a word of knowledge that God was healing someone with my problem.
I was healed instantly, there was no more pain and total freedom of movement had been restored.
That was in August, 2003 and my shoulder has been fine every since.

Train your shoulder properly and strengthen it, and you'll be fine. My shoulder dislocated when I was younger and playing football, and I've had no surgery on it to this day. It's all in how you care for it and strengthen the area. Consider this, though - if it continually prohibits you from training, forcing your routine to change drastically for a long period of time, then there may be more at work than a dislocated shoulder, so take care. Remember - you can't train your arm if you can't move or use it ;)

I train with a guy who's shoulder pops in and out of place every now and then. He's never had surgery on it and he still trains. The thing about dislocating a shoulder is that the possibility of it happen again is greater and can happen more often. And we train in Hapkido so we take poundings on a regular basis. But everyone is different so you may want to consider having it properly examined by a orthopedic specialist to determine the level of damage. good luck and train hard.

Just be duly cautious. Let your instructors know about the injuries and surgery, and if anything seems like a bad idea for the shoulder, it very well might be, so be smart. Throws/takedowns and falls are the only areas that you will probably encounter anything that could really put the shoulder at extra risk. Just be smart and listen to your body, know your own limits...theyre not always the same as somebody else!! But DO enjoy!

That happened to my brother in wrestling, his shoulder was hurting for a few days before his coach realized it was out of its socket, he popped it back in and he did continue to wrestle but with ice on it between matches, (it was a tournament) after that he started to see a chiropractor a few days a week for about a month or so, and it doesn't seem to be giving him any problems now.
