Go to your GP and ask for a referral to a rheumatologist.

I have a syndrome known as hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, this can cause joint dislocations and subluxations. You need to see a specialist because you can't self-diagnose and if you do have EDS then you need regular monitoring by various specialities, especially cardiology. Good luck OP.
