Shoulder cracks when I rotate arm.?!
Question: How do I fix this problem? I was doing push ups and my left shoulder cracks whenever I rotate my arm. I don't feel pain but I'm scared that this might be arthritis or will stunt my growth.

See your healthcare provider as soon as possible, done correctly,push-up shouldn't harm your shoulder or back at all. The key is to keep your upper body straight as you push up, whether pivoting from your toes ( the classic position ) or from your knees ( the "modified" push-up ). If you arch your back, you'll strain it. That's a common mistake, so people who have had back or shoulder problems should probably skip push-up. And good luck.
My shoulders have been cracking for years...if there is no pain then I wouldn't worry about it. You could see a chiropractor but it could be that you are just naturally cracking certain areas.
