Any effective treatment (cure)for shoulder's popping, cracking , clicking and grinding? injections? lubricants? creams? it is annoying me

No cure, but: These are early signs of arthritis resulting from overuse of the shoulder. If you want to delay the process, you may respond to glucosamine and chondroitin supplements. Since there is no pain, nothing more is warranted. If you develop pain, use acetaminophen , NOT aspirin or NSAIDs which interfere with cartilage repair and can actually accelerate the process. Instead, investigate prolotherapy
