See ORS: Pain in this area could be due to a slap lesion. ( labral tear involving the biceps anchor). Unstable 'slap' tears require arthroscopic fixation. Most are seen in overhead athletes.'popping and catching' are common w/ slap tears.Other possibilities include rot. Cuff tendinitis, shoulder instability , and ac jt problems. See an ors who has specialty training in shoulder arthroscopy. Good luck!
