My shoulder keeps hurting and popping where it shouldn't, who can I see about this?

I've had pain in both my shoulders for a while now. The pain subsides for a while whenever my shoulders "pop". My arm strength has been weakened in both arms since this has happened, and some days the pain is almost unbearable. Certain situations exacerbate the problem: poor posture, sleeping on a couch, etc. However, when I went to an orthopedic surgeon, he said nothing was the matter (he took x-rays). Is there some alternative medicine I can use, some acupuncture, rolfing, chiropractor, muscle manipulation, massage therapy, etc that can help this specifically?

Oh, and I popped it for the doctor and he noted that it was strange and recommended that I see a physical therapist. Well, I didn't go because I just blew $80 on this visit that produced no results. A, "nothing is wrong, but maybe you can go and do this" was no the definitive answer I had sought!

Gee, I hate to second guess a doctor. There are things like tendinitis and bursitis, but I'm sure he would have mentioned it if he thought you had it.

Don't write off the physical therapist because you think the doctor suggested it as a throw-away idea. It may be what you need.

Physical therapy strengthens your muscles and teaches you different ways to do things, such as better posture, if the way you stand is affecting another body part. Working the muscles properly can relieve pain and develop better mobility.

I had to do PT after a fall injured my shoulder and it became impossible to raise my arm above shoulder high. The physical therapist told me that a small muscle in my shoulder had atropied when I wasn't using it. She taught me exercises to strengthen that muscle and regain its movement. Today I have full use of the arm again.

It's possible a PT can solve your problem, too.
