I braced a fall with my shoulder a few days ago, my shoulder has been dislocating on and off since, what to do?

You are unstable : Chronic instability at your age usually means a rotator cuff tear. You need to see an orthopedic surgeon. You may need a MRI and surgery.

Shoulder dislocation: get a sling on your arm for now to keep the shoulder from moving and then see an orthopedic surgeon for xrays and treatment
