Could be a Rotator -: cuff tendon injury, bursitis, tendonitis, or even a shoulder joint subluxation (when joint doesn't dislocate completely but partially), so producing the popping sound and still having full motion as the joint probably self-reduced. Any of the above mentioned possibilities can result in Tendonitis or bursitis. See an Orthopod and get investigated. Good Luck.

I dislocated my shoulder on xmas morning. I wore a sling for a couple of weeks. But since then it aches. Certain movements it locks,or feels like it's coming out. Or just hurts so much I cant move my arm anymore. Almost like its paralyzes it.
