I have a problem with my Right shoulder. I've never had any injury that I can remember but when I lift any kind of weight over my head I get a small pop in my shoulder. It isn't really painful but does get a little sore after a few exercises. Anyone have any idea what this might be?

get it checked out by a shoulder specialist. It could be a rotator cuff injury. This would explain the popping sound, which could have resulted from a number of things. The shoulder joint has moved for some reason, this may have been due to partial tears in any of the 4 muscles and there tendon attachments which make up the rotator cuff. A weakening of any of these muscles could result in the movement of the shoulder joint, which is clicking against something as it moves. Something which may have also caused movement could be a swollen bursa. Treatment may require an injection of Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs. Get it checked out by your doctor, but a physiotherapist or a specialist
