What Causes Shoulder Subluxation?

My shoulder seems loose and tends to lock up a bit when moving in certain directions. Not always but its been more often lately. Seems like my shoulder doesn t feel tight in its socket. I am a weight lifter. It seems to be getting better but getting up in the morning is the worst. Should i see a doctor? Or wait it out and give it rest. If so how long should i wait?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
It seems like you suffer from chronic shoulder instability and this is caused by loose shoulder ligaments. This is also called anterior glenohumeral instability and refers to a shoulder in which soft-tissue or bony insult allows the humeral head to sublux or dislocate from the glenoid fossa. OI most cases it can be treated with exercises and nonsurgicall. However, surgery is also indicated if the patient is symptomatic with activities of daily living or if overhead stability is specifically needed.
I hope I have answered you query
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
