Brief Answer:
It does not looks like dislocated shoulder.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through the photo attached. Do not worry, it does not looks like dislocated shoulder.
Discomfort in lower neck during head movements could be due to mild spondylotic changes in cervical spine. Some bulging above left shoulder seems to be due to associated muscle spasm.
X-ray of neck in lateral view will help in the diagnosis.
Usually the treatment goes in following lines: rest, lifestyle modifications (namely- avoiding pillow while sleeping, following a healthy diet plan, maintaining suitable posture while working on computer/driving, avoiding any activity that strikes neck discomfort), medications (that your physician prescribes) and most important physiotherapy ( in form of neck exercises along with local ultrasonics).
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
