Shoulder subluxation: Unlikely to be subluxation unless you get recurrent subluxation or have had trauma. Sounds more like bursitis or frozen shoulder.see your gp/ physio for review .

Subluxed?: Unlikely but there may be an injury but would have to have it examined it by your doctor. Another option would be to have a physio look at it.
