shoulder dislocation???

For years now when I move my arm certain wsys my shoulder seems to dislocate, even in my sleep, sometimes taking several mins. to “put back” and it can take days for it to actually go back perfectly and only then does the pain completely stop. I can feel it shift slightly when this happens. There is a grinding to it when it comes out and recently I have been beginning to experience the sensation of it “about to come out” in the upper muscle of my arm where there is no joint. I have had an MRI of it and the Dr.who read them said there was no evidence it has ever been dislocated and suggested (with a grin) the next time it happened for me to leave it out and drive the 25 mins. it takes to get to the E.R.This has been going on since a bike accident 25 years ago and is beginning to really affect the quality of things I enjoy (gardening, swimming, tossing a ball with kids) Do you have any suggestions for me? I am desperate. My shoulder hurts all the way down my arm and into my neck almost constantly now. Thank you for your time,Sheila
