Popping noise from shoulder? PLease help

Acceler8n Posts: 1 Joined: 2002/11/14	2002/11/14, 02:20 AM Hi, My left should has a slight pain and makes a popping noise everytime I move it laterally up or flex my arm when my arm is raised over my head. This popping noise is fairly loud, and can be heard by my friends from a couple feet away. It happened about a year ago, when I was constantly playing basketball and bowling everyday. One day my should got a bit sore, but I thought it was nothing and kept wearing it out until one day I couldn't move my left shoulder at all. After about 2 or 3 weeks...Gradually the pain went away, and then came this popping noise. Its been doing this since. I just take it as a normal thing because I'm not big on visiting doctors unless its life-threatening, but I think it night be something more than it is. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Any help is appreciated.

If anything, just to eliminate any physical ailments associated with the joints, ligaments, etc. Popping is usually air in the joints but, then again, it could be a friction problem in the joint. Not sure what to tell you other than if you're experiencing pain, that's usually a superb sign that something ain't right. Things could be fine but, there's great piece of mind in knowing exactly what's going on after visiting the doc. Good luck and be careful. DP
