What Causes Shoulder Pain And Clicking Sound In Joint While Moving Arm?

Sure, thank you very much. I am a man, 6 1 tall , 210 lbs, fairly active, 50 yrs of age. I have been bothered by shoulder pain, ( non dominant Shoulder ) for about 6 weeks. I cannot really remember how I hurt it, but it bothers me quite badly. I don t have any loss of motion or range issues. From what I can determine, it appears, at least according to the various web-sites, to be Frozen Shoulder. I am concerned that it could be a probelm with one of the Rotator Cuff Tendons, but I not sure. Once I move the shoulder it gets better, and does not bother me as much. There is slight pain in the top of my arm, Deltoid, and when I move it a little more rapidly, I can hear the joint clicking ...Your thoughts?

hello healthcare user,frozen shoulder is associated with loss of range of movement,but in your case as you said you don't have any such issues....your only complaint is pain in shoulder and joint clicking...you seem to be suffering from rotator cuff arthropathy with arthritis..joint clicking is due to arthritis due to loss of lubricating fluid (synovial fluid). Iwould suggest you to have some antiinflamatory medicines with calcium supplementation..physiotherapy will also help you if done under proper guidance.thrice daily ice fermentation will take care of shoulder pain..feel free to consult anytime for further guidance....thank you
