A member asked:
I have painful shoulder crunching and have begun to experience limited mobility accompanied by pain when i twist my back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is not normal.: Painful crunching (AKA crepitus) is not normal. I'd recommend getting a shoulder x-ray to determine if there is a reason for this, like arthritis and/or loose body. If not, then physical therapy may help this.
