Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain Due To Rotator Cuff Deterioration
Rotator cuff injury likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A loud pop followed by pain on stretching behind the back is suggestive of a soft tissue injury to the rotator cuff. An MRI scan can diagnose the problem but since the pain is mild and is on certain movements only it is best to avoid the painful movements and let the injury gradually heal on its own in next few weeks. Do not put any pressure on the right arm while sleeping. Doing a hot compress in the area and taking a mild anti inflammatory pain killer can help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Do get it examined by an orthopedician.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You can consult an orthopedician for an examination. A minor tear is likely. Do take rest for 2-3 weeks and after the pain subsides completely then only any exercises should be started. Doing exercises just now can add to the injury.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

It should gradually heal on its own.
Detailed Answer:
The mild pain can be due to a partial tear. It is likely to heal on its own in few weeks. Cortizone shot will decrease the inflammation and will reduce the pain and swelling. It will not aid in healing. The healing will take its own time.
