Click sound followed by pain.
I had a minor accidant 10 years ago when i jumped from a certain height. I had my right hand lifted up (elbow straight , palm facing the sky) and while i jumped down my fore arms was against the wall got bent towards the left I could feel a crack sound in my right upper back. Days passed i played cricket and it started to hurt, i didn't tell anyone. Now after i wake i feel acute pain, and click sound when i do external rotation. I want to build more muscle lift weight etc. And i feel discomfort when i simply do lateral raise without weight. What should i do next. Should i consult an orthopedic or a physiotherapist?

Hello sir I would suggest to go for an orthopaedic consult and provide yourself with the radiographs needed and then go for a physiotherapist consultation. As the injury is old it might not cause the pain but proper diagnosis is required. Apply ice packs for pain relief. Thank you.

There can be an element of subluxation of shoulder. It would be better to visit an orthopaedic and do the needful scans to rule out the pathology. Apply cold packs and keep the arm at rest.
Next Steps
Avoid heavy weight lifting or jerky movements.

Hey there! Firstly your injury is 10 years old. Please do. Need x rays of your shoulders and upper back to consider the present status. Most probably that should not be the cause of your problems. You are trying more weight progression and probably that could be the cause. Please consult online.

First you should consult with the ortho doc for proper assessment as its a 10 years old damage done. There might be now some issues with the muslces or nerve which needs few tests and it require proper assessment to suggest proper treatment.

Hey there!! I am happy that you contacted us. First step first - visit a orthopedic doctor Second xray and MRI for proper diagnosis. Then you can visit a physiotherapist for short term and long term planning, muscles strengthening any other modalities if necessary. You want to build muscle - to this I would say A PROPER BONE HEALTH IS A PREREQUISITE FOR HEALTHY MUSCLES.  Both are complementary to each other.
