Shoulder Problem/ Injury?!
Question: Hi. I have a shoulder problem. I can crack it and it hurts. I am not exactly sure what the problem is. I went to an orthopedist today and im not sure if hes a very good one. i always thought that playing tennis made my shoulder worse but the doctor said to play more tennis. he said there is nothing wrong with my shoulder. He said its just like cracking your knuckles. The problem is that it hurts. Should i listen to this doctor? One thing he told me to do is play more tennis and to do isometric exercises for my shoulder and neck. Can you give me a list of some good shoulder and neck exercises, along with how to do them? Thanks in advance.

i would rest it. I hurt my shoulder wresting, but it was bad before and still is, when i lift weights i hear a cracking or a popping noise in my shoulder its gross. I dont get a chance to rest it, but no one but a doctor will be able to tell you whats really wrong, if you sprained a muscle, or partially torn, or whatever
Ignore the doctor. Go and see a physio.
