hello I have shoulder pain. I can t extend my arm above my head or rotate my shoulder without it making slight popping noises similar to the noises our bones make when we walk after sitting for a while. As a youngster and younger man I dislocated it on multiple occasions. Its different than past flare ups. My entire arm is aching from hand to shoulder
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It might be frozen shoulder or a rotator cuff injury. Detailed evaluation is required for correct diagnosis and proper treatment. Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. You have to take an MRI scan to look for any ligament involvement and rotator cuff injury. As of now, you can take analgesics, like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac. Wishing you good health. Thanks.
