A member asked:
My shoulder joints crack/snap every time i do a full rotating of my arm, i'm only 16 is this anything harmful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: You are feeling the "Rotator Cuff" (the tendons which surround the shoulder allowing THE MOST MOTION of ANY JOINT in the whole body! At your age this tendon tissue and the CARTILAGE of the joint itself are PLIABLE ..can stretch and make the sound you"hear". If you are otherwise HEALTHY this is all NORMAL!\ Hope this helps ! Dr Z
