It sounds to me as if the Military did more harm to your shoulder , if your still having problems because of what Military medical personal did you should be able to get a service connected rating.  But before you do anything with the VA.. you really should check on getting your discharge upgraded to a medical discharge,  since the military made the condition worse. They should not have been able to just toss you out without consideration of a medical discharge.  You could have a real fight on your hands, but one worth fighting.   And yes you can get a medical discharge for conditions  you had before service occurred or if the condition was aggravated by military service -               ( aggravated means you went in with a condition and your military service made it worse.)

                                                                                I am not a lawyer so take my opinions with a grain of salt...

If I had listened to the nay sayers, I would never have acheived any ratings after I was awarded TDIU in 1999. Now I have not one but two 100% ratings, a TDIU  and 4 SMC awards !  I say JUST GO For It

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” -Albert Einstein.

It was a dislocated shoulder one time in high school and three times in basic I had to get a waiver. The last time my arm got broken trying to relocate it after convalescent leave I was given chapter 11 epts els discharge by the same major who tried unsuccessfully to relocate it. Also he said that the waiver was in place for this
