Question
Hi there,

I have a question and it has been going on for 3-4 years now. Kindly note that this did not happen until i starting going to the gym and working out.

I suspect it was due to doing wide push ups and wide chest press that resulted in the cracking and popping sound. I remembered i felt pain at times but i ignored it and gradually noticed the regular popping and cracking sound whenever i leave up my arms for example.

Would like to seek your expert advice on this matter.

Answer
If you are referring to your shoulders, it is likely the tendons of the shoulder girdle snapping as you raise your arms. I would advise that you be careful with overhead presses too. You have to be careful not to cause motions that impinge the rotatr cuff tendon between the humerus and the shoulder blade. Sometimes it's just an annoyance, but if you have some pain you need to rest and avoid any provocative movements.
