If my shoulder just starts randomly popping loudly what does that mean?

Loose joint?: The joint may be lax and unstable making you at risk for dislocation. Physical therapy can help in the long run. Consult an orthopedist for an evaluation and a referral to appropriate therapy.

Varies: There are a number of possibilities, I would not hesitate to be seen. Among the two more common causes are instability, in which the popping represents abnormal motion; and crepitance, in which the cartilage surface is irregular. Don't hesitate to be seen for a specific diagnosis and potential treatment options.
