Its been 2 months that i tore a muscle in my shoulder from a hit on the floor, got a bit better but it cracks in a weird way. is the crack dangerous?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Possibly: Have the shoulder evaluated by an orthopedist. An MRI may be helpful in this situation.

Possibly : Male fell on shoulder 2 months ago has "weird cracks" with motion. Common causes: crepitations arising from a subluxing acromioclavicular joint or levator scapulae tendon impinging superior scapula spine. Shoulder X-Rays with & without weights are useful. Most soft tissue disorders are radiolucent & non-discoverable by imaging studies. Osteopaths are trained in soft tissue diagnosis.
