Will my ligaments self heal, can the doctor do anything?

My self diagnosis is my ligaments have loosened. I notice it especially in my shoulders and hips. My diagnosis could be wrong, but let’s go with it for the Q.

I tried to research this a little, and I think the answer is no, ligaments don’t self heal, they won’t tighten back up on their own nor with exercises. I hope that’s wrong.

I’m going to go to the doctor, because what choice do I have. Although, I’m not sure if they can help me either. I read they can do surgery, but I doubt I would consent to that at this time. I read about a shot, but I’m not sure how it works and I don’t know what the risks.

My symptoms are my joints feel like they can slip out of place easily and the muscles near the joint now are very painful if I reach or even using them in general cause some discomfort.

Any information and experience you have I’m interested.

Don’t worry I won’t be trying any cures on my own, I don’t have enough experience with it to risk attempting anything.

I think it was caused by a medication. I’m not happy about it to say the least. I feel at risk to hurt myself; I feel less stable. I can’t hook my bra in back. I can’t put on and take off tops and dresses over my head that are tight as they pass over my shoulders, because it causes a lot of pain and I worry I could do further damage to my body doing those things. Swimming freestyle now hurts my arms. That motion over my head hurts, and it never hurt before.

Should I go straight to an orthopedist or start with primary care? Can it be evaluated with MRI?

Thanks!
