I hear loud cracking sounds in my throwing shoulder

The kind with MD after his name. And fast. An orthopod would be a start. I wouldn't be throwing too much till I did.

Sorry - it's one of those days.

If your medical insurance is like almost everyone else's, you'll have to go to a primary care physician first, and seek a referral to an orthopedist from there. However you handle this, you definitely need to be seen by a doctor.

Yeah. It doesn't hurt or anthing. But if i move it in a circular motion, it makes cracking sounds. And i have noticed a drop in velocity,

Maybe i tore a labrum?

Dr Smokky1,

Get a second opinion before you start mumbling on the bench with your arm in a sling that you should have went to the doctor in the first place.

Smokky1, Hop off your throne and take 1 hour out of your busy day and go see a doctor to insure you do not screw up your future. I don't mean to be sarcastic but right now I am involved with my sons medical issues and we are taking nothing for granted. I'll let him know you think he's a baby and then pass it along with any other athlete who respects their body enough to maintain it.

It's obvious there's a change in your body, and the cracking noise is the indicator. Maybe it's nothing but I don't think that someday you want to tell your kids that you could have been a darn good player but you were too tough for a doctors visit.

What does lolz mean?

I think he means lol z

Ok...what does lol z mean?

Laughing out loud...sleeping?

of course i am going to the doctor. The whole point of this thread was to see WHAT kind of doctor should i see. my local doctor can't really SEE inside my shoulder.

"I'll let him know you think he's a baby and then pass it along with any other athlete who respects their body enough to maintain it."

i already said i am going to a doctor.that was the whole point of this tread. i wanted to see if anybody else had this problem. i said that i might have a torn labrum, because somebody on here told me that the cracking sound is a symptom. am i a doctor?No.. can i make assumpstions? yes. Maybe it's nothing. the doctor will probably tell that i am double jointed.

Ok...what does lol z mean?

"Laughing out loud...sleeping?"

lolz is another way for saying lol..it's an internet fad. Just like the OR LY owl.. obviously none of that has reached this site

smokky1:

I can appreciate that lol z is an internet fad...I'm just an old internet dud...you'll have to excuse my lack of hipness.

I'm intrigued though...how does adding a z to lol change or enhance its meaning?

And while I'm at it...please explain the OR LY owl.

Are these the troublesome owls at Paris' airport that lead to flight delays when they decide to fly from one side of the airport to the other?

That was good!!!

O RLY means OH really.. then with an owl in the front.

smokky1:

THX 4 being patient w/ me...hipness is an acquired taste...and at my age I can only consume a little at a time and it must be mushy yet still contain a fair amount of fiber! lol z...I think!

O RLY is straightforward...the owl connection is not RLY clear to me.

And the lol with the z still leaves me puzzled!

As for your shoulder, you might have a gotwood in there, felling trees. That what may be making those sounds.

Krak:

Get with it dude! It's soundz...not sounds!

hey, it's ZOUNDZ!!!! Maybe you can't hear me over the loud Doobie Brothers music playing in the background!

Dude, little 6th grade girls say lolz. Its not a fad, geeze.

Bout the shoulder, get that dood fixed. I know exactly what you are talking about. I was ignorant and didnt play all last year.

Krak:

We all pitched in and bought a Zound filter...a RLY long one...and installed it along the entire length of the International Dateline...Doobie Brother all day long brother...we can't hear you!


AK:

I've got a fifth grade daughter and a seventh grade daughter...I'll ask them about lol z...maybe they can enlighten their dear ol' dad!

Get yourself to the Ortho. I would do it asap.
