Hello matty, yes it looks to me that you are having a ligament disorder and that is why your joints are dislocating. I would suggest you to take a MRI of the shoulder. if dislocation is because of any ligament damage then help can be done but if it due to ligament weakness then You will need physiotherapy as surgery will not going to help you.
