Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sudden pain along with hearing a pop sound in shoulder seems to be most probably due to Rotator Cuff Tears..
Rotator cuff is composed of muscles and tendons and injury to it commonly occurs during gymming, weight lifting and other similar activities..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x rays, MRI scan and evaluation of movement of shoulder joint..
The physician can advise you to take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone.
You can be advised to do warm compresses and also Physiotherapy can be advised..
You can also be advised steroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain..
Restriction of excessive movement will be advised..
In case if non surgical treatment is not helpful surgical treatment like Arthroscopy can be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
