Rotator cuff problems, I think?
Hello, I'd really appreciate if anyone could give me an idea of what my problem could possibly be.
When weightlifting, doing press ups etc. I get an aching pain in the rotator cuff area of my left shoulder and after a few reps it gives in. It's an awkward, aching pain something similar to a cramp / pulling muscle?
When I rotate my arm I can hear a cracking noise around my rotator cuff area and a clicking noise near the centre of my collar bone.
Other problems I have that could be related....
Sometimes. I have a similar aching pain around the rotator cuff area of my hip, also on the left side when waking up after sleeping on my left side or after a long run.
My left scapula seems to be sticking out a tiny bit further than my right.
Does anyone have any idea of what it could be?
I know I should just go and see a specialist and I plan to go and see one soon.
All replies will be appreciated, thanks!

Thanks alot for responding, I appreciate your time.
I've had this problem for a few years so I really should consult my doctor.
Arthritis could possibly be the cause. I also have double jointed fingers so there might be an underlying problem.
Again, thanks for responding, I appreciate it!

Since other joints are involved, first suspicion should be arthritis.

Hi!
Cracking or popping sound in the shoulder is usually due to arthritis of shoulder joint. The other possibility is rotator cuff injury or a torn labrum. Usually torn labrum heals by itself. Physiotherapy is given to strengthen your muscles and to remove the pressure off the labrum. Arthritis is treated by rest, anti-inflammatory medication followed by physiotherapy. Since a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!

The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
