Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

MDI: Multidirectional instability. Google this and see if your symptoms are consistent w/ this. A weight like a bag that ‘distracts’ your shoulder downward and gives u the feeling of ‘looseness’ is a classic history of MDI. See an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports or shoulder surgery for an examination. Best of luck!
