clicking in left shoulder

[louise123_uk]

Whenever I raise my left arm in the air or use my cross trainer, I can hear my left shoulder clicking, my right one doesnt do this as much (though it does do it a little), and its been something that has happened for a long time, could there be something seriously wrong with my joints? Im worried as Im only 26. Im not in any pain.

One of my shoulders clicks when I circle my arms during a warm up, and has done for many years. I'm not worried about this, as have always thought of this as normal.

Yeah, mine has been like this a while, but does seem to be vrtually every time I raise or extend my arm. I dont lift weights so couldnt have injured it really, but I do sleep with my weight on my shoulders in bed (I just seem to land up in this position, with my left arm knd of up round my neck so I guess my weight is resting on my left shoulder. Im very slim.

Mine does too, and the rest of my bones click also! Its worried me for a bit but i started to notice people with a similar frame often clicked too so it doesn't anymore :-) x:hugs:

Hi Jellie, are you quite slim?

[Jellie]

I am for sure :)

I posted this on a physio forum the other day and theyve come up with all sorts of joint probs, this was something I was just going to try and ignore since theres no pain, and had more or less decided is either way I sleep, because Im v slim or just because stiff maybe if havent moved a certain way in quite a while (I have a desk job and sit down alot probs in positions that are bad for my back, neck, shoulders etc). I was starting to think the clicking could perhaps be normal when a couple of other people on here said they had it..... I wasnt planning on heading to the docs with this as didnt think they would take me seriously but on the physio forum they suggested I see a physio which makes it sound kind of serious! Im really lost for what to do now and whether this does require a trip to docs???

I am ripe old 29 :D and my arms and shoulder do this quite a bit especially in the AM and when I do arm exercises.

Thanks for your post, yep I dont think its going to kill me either Im just kind of concerned what it is (has started happening a bit in both shoulders now, argh). I just expected them to reply on the forum and say oh ignore it its nothing, not go and see a physio straight away, id have to get referred to one by my GP wouldnt I? and as theres no pain dont really think its worth troubling a GP about do you? Beginning to worry a little if doing the right thing just ignoring it as nothing

Doe this sound like it needs checked out? (think its in both shoulders now, it kinnd of seems its in both shoulders now)
