What Causes Popping Shoulders With Burning Sensation?

My shoulder constantly feels like it needs to be popped (right underneath the left shoulder blade area). My chiropractor suggested that I need to exercise my upper back muscles, but it honestly just feels better when I rarely figure out how to pop it. Lately the popping has been followed by a burning sensation. Is this unhealthy? Or is there some other method for my shoulder aches to go away?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern.

Painless clicking of the shoulder is common, normal and frequently bilateral. The exact causes are not entirely known but it is thought to be related to altered sudden pressures within the joints or bursal cavities. Painful clicking, however, is most likely pathological.

Popping shoulders with burning sensation could be because of pinched nerve. The term pinched nerve designates a type of injury or damage to a nerve or set of nerves, most commonly resulting from compression, constriction, or stretching of the surrounding area. A pinched nerve may also result from arthritis.. The severity of this condition can range from minor and temporary to long lasting and serious. Pinched nerves often result from activity and movement in work and recreational settings.

It could be because of rotator cuff tear means damage to one or more of the four tendons that cover the shoulder joint and connect the shoulder bone to the collarbone. A torn rotator cuff is usually caused by injury in which the tendon is overstretched or resulting from a direct blow. This condition can also occur as a result of repeated minor injury or overuse that weaken the tendon.

The mainstays of treatment include rest, anti-inflammatory medication and treatment. Treatment for rotator cuff disorders should always consist of rotator cuff strengthening exercises.

Perform the exercise with a light dumbbell. Lie on the side, holding the dumbbell in the hand of the upper arm. Position the elbow of the upper arm against the rib cage to avoid movement other than external rotation. Externally rotate the arm through full range of motion. This will increase blood circulation to that area and your problem will be solved.

Hoping your concern has been solved. Get back to me if any further query is there.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
