Ouch!

Ok, I have just done something to my shoulder and it hurts like hell.
I was reaching behind myself to lift a bag and something popped or cracked or something.
Basically its ok if I keep it in close to my chest but if I extend it out to the side or behind me at all I get a shooting pain inside the shoulder joint..
Any ideas or treatments?

"this is not a physiotherapy board" etc

It sounds like you've partially dislocated your shoulder?

It could be a rotator cuff injury or any number of other things. You should see either a doctor or a physio. Unfortunately, you have to see a professional to get proper evaluation and treatment and doing it soon means that you recover quicker.....

You forgot to tag it with, "The above doesn't constitute medical advice"

you could of torn a ligament or a muscle(i no he said popped or cracked but iv heard some very strange sounds before when i was injured and they sounded nothing like the ingury) but id say you dislocated it go to your doctor!
