Shoulder Cracks When I Raise My Arm?

Question by : Shoulder cracks when I raise my arm?
This has been going on for quite a while now, my right arm cracks when I raise it and for example, when I did a math problem in school on a board with a chalk, my arm was hurting a lot, so I had to rest it every few seconds, I’ve seen a doctor for it, she says its most likely because of I sleep on the side, that’s right, I do sleep on my right side, but now the left arm is also cracking and I found this painful spot on it when I press hard enough. What is this most likely caused by? What should my treatment be? I do spent a lot of time in front of a computer, maybe its cause my arms are on a keyboard for a long time?

Joint “cracking” can result from a negative pressure pulling nitrogen gas temporarily into the joint, such as when knuckles are “cracked.” This is not harmful. “Cracking” sounds can also be heard if tendons snap over tissues because of minor adjustments in their gliding paths. This can occur with aging as muscle mass and action change.

If cracking is accompanied by pain, there could be underlying abnormalities of the structures of the joint, such as loose cartilage or injured ligaments. Some patients with arthritis (inflammation of joints, usually painful), bursitis, or tendinitis notice “cracking” sounds, or crepitus, with joint movements, due to the snapping of irregular, swollen tissues.
