Is it normal if you hear cracking noises in you shoulder??

I've had/still do have that...

Go get looked at by a sports Doc.

The main reason that I get it is simply from pitching so much, or at least that's what my sports Doc and physio team have told me (Keep in mind this is from my own experiences only).

But nevertheless go see a sports Doc.

Smokky1,

Please go see a sports doctor!

Another vote to go see a Sports Orthopedist, preferably one who works with baseball players.

One injury that can cause the symptoms you described is a "SLAP lesion" / torn labrum in the shoulder. It can be a serious injury but may be effectively treated with PT exercises. But that's only one possibility - only the doc can tell you what it is. Shoulder noises are not something to ignore if you want to keep playing baseball.

Mine crackled and I went to a sports ortho and found I had floating bone chips in my shoulder.

Get it checked out.

My knees do that, but I am OLD. Not normal for a youngster to have weird noises eminating from thier body.



Well, except for that certain noise after eating Mexican Food.

Hmmm, KD. That could imply you're not a youngster anymore?


A trip to a sports ortho is definitely called for here. For smokky1 that is...

I freely admit that I'm not a youngster anymore. If I could only turn back the clock and treat my body better.

Heck, my whole body does that. But, alas, I too am old. I am hoping it's not Early Rigamortis.

Amen to that!

When I lift weights--an increasingly rare event--I sound like an old oak with branches about to snap off. Amuses the hell out of my kids.

As long as the sound isn't coming from a major artery, I don't worry about it. But my fastball has lost about 30 mph, come to think of it.

I will go see a doc..my arm hasnt been the same for awhile

My shoulder doesn't do it on it's own, but if I bend my elbow so my arm is 90 degress, and turn it in across my chest it pops.

It doesn't hurt me either, and I feel no difference in my arm, and see no difference in velocity.
