Hey i was wondering if i may be showing symptoms of a hereditary condition, so here is a sort family history

My father (passed away at 43 from massive heart attack, D.O.A). He had high blood pressure and an enlarged heart also had seizures which i believe where caused neurontin abuse. His joints (shoulders mostly, but occasionally his jaw and other joints would also) would dislocate and he would always relocate them and i never thought much of it. i don't remember the exact details of the conversation with my father but i remember him making a comment that a dr. once told him that his joint dislocated because of either a genetic disorder or where he was hit by a car when he was younger

My mother has under active thyroids and arthritis and no joint issues

About 3 or 4 years ago i was on a roller coaster with my arms up and my left shoulder popped and hurt the rest of the day and then stopped a few days later so a dr. never looked. Since that day on the coaster my left shoulder will randomly pop and hurt for a bit and normally go away in 3 or 4 days, in this 3 to 4 year span this has happened less than 10 times. About 2 weeks ago i was swinging a bat( i swing right handed so my left shoulder didn't have much stress) hitting baseballs and i got about 8 swings in then my shoulder popped and i stopped swinging the bat and it mostly quit hurting and i had to bust up a rock with a hammer so i went and busted the rock swinging the hammer and my shoulder really didn't bother me all that much. The next day my shoulder hurt to move and i tried lifting a bundle of extension cords off a nail in my garage which weighed 5-7 lbs. and i got the bundle about 2 inches off the nail but my arm would not raise it any higher and was shaking like i was shivering. After that happened i left my should to rest about a week and it improved greatly but when i would stretch my arm or put stress on it i would still fell pain. Last week i was wrestling around with a friend (my shoulder still had slight discomfort when streching it) and he got my left arm behind my back and was raising it up to make me tap out and he pushed it higher and i felt my shoulder pop again but it didn't cause any pain and what pain was still there from when i was swing the bat was gone the next day. So my question is, am i developing a condition like my father had or is this all just coincidence?
