Thank you for getting back to me. I have arranged an appointment with my family physician so he can refer me to an orthopedic surgeon. Hopefully something can be done. I will let you know of any updates to my condition.
Thanks :)
I have this same experience, does your shoulder freeze at times, it could be a sign of bursitis or commonly called frozen shoulder. What you my be hearing is the bursa sacks moving over the cartilage. If this is the case, the doctor will first run a x ray, then possibly a MRI. Sometime Cortisone shoots would be injected into the shoulder, although I have heard that these shot elevates some pain, but it is not worth it. I can not raise my arms to a salute or they would lock out. My doctor hasn't really done anything about my frozen shoulder and it is still getting worse.
Good day to you.
This grinding sensation can be brought about by the wear and tear of the cartilage inside the joints. The cartilage usually acts as a cushion to lessen the friction of bone sliding against bone. If this cartilage fails, then you'll experience pain and this grinding sensation. I suggest you consult with an orthopedic surgeon. He may do a arthroscopy to visualize the condition of the joints or ask you to perform non invasive imaging tests such as MRI. Treatment will depend on the results.
For now, it will be very helpful for you to continue the exercises that your physiotherapist recommends. I strongly suggest not increasing the weights you are lifting for now.
I hope this helps. My regards...
