What causes cracking and pain in shoulder?
Patient: My 4.5 month old keeps cracking in left shoulder or neck area (?) followed by a painful cry....? It s increasing in frequency, and the same after administering advil (tried for pain and inflammation). the crying only last about 1 minute. Dr said he was teething, Chiro felt some tightness on left side of C2/C3. I know popping/cracking is normal, but why is he screaming in pain? Worried Mom. Doctor: Hi,By what you say I feel that it could be a physiological phenomena. It could be a very initial stage of tics also. I am telling that it could be tics because of the immediate cry that baby is doing after the particular cracking. I suggest that you keep the baby under follow up with your pediatrician with the clinical tips.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,Dr. Sumanth
