When I turn my arm, my shoulder makes a noise

There is a noise in the shoulder when the arm is turned. I believe many people have encountered this problem. If this problem occurs in young people, it is not a big deal, because it is mostly caused by physiological reasons and can heal itself without special treatment. But if it happens to the elderly, special attention should be paid. Because this is most likely caused by local lesions or problems such as frozen shoulder.

1. Physiological reasons

Whether joint crackling is a hidden health problem has a lot to do with age. Generally speaking, joint cracking in young people is mainly due to physiological reasons, unless there is trauma. Most joint popping is physiological, and the sound will not cause discomfort to other parts of the body. It is not harmful to the body and does not require special treatment, nor is there any need to worry about it. Guidance: However, some people experience soreness, swelling and other uncomfortable feelings when their joints pop. This may indicate that there is a problem with the joints, and it is better to go to the rehabilitation department of the hospital.

2. Local lesions

Once it happens to older people, it is more important to consider whether there are local lesions, such as ligament strain, bone spurs, etc. Guidance: In this case, go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible to find out the real cause, and actively carry out symptomatic drug treatment, local physical therapy or other physical therapy, otherwise it will cause serious consequences. For example, if meniscus injury is not treated in time, it will aggravate the wear and tear on the cartilage. Cartilage damage is irreversible, which will cause inconvenience to the patient's walking and even lead to lifelong regrets.

3. Periarthritis of shoulder

If it lasts for a long time, it is likely caused by periarthritis of the shoulder. It is a chronic specific inflammation of the shoulder capsule and its surrounding ligaments, tendons and bursae, with the main symptoms being gradual onset of shoulder pain, especially at night, which gradually worsens and the limited and increasingly worsening shoulder joint function, which gradually eases after a certain degree until finally recovers completely.

Frozen shoulder is a chronic disease that can gradually improve and heal. The treatment is based on the principles of pain relief, functional exercise, and promoting recovery of joint function. Physical therapy, hot compresses, massage or manipulation can help relieve pain and promote an increase in the range of motion of the shoulder joint. At the tender area, you can use prednisolone acetate for local blockade. Shoulder periarthritis should be treated promptly in the early stage. You can apply Yushantang ointment of traditional Chinese medicine externally, which can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relax muscles and tendons, and relieve inflammation and pain, thereby achieving the purpose of treating both the symptoms and the root cause. And during the treatment, you should keep warm and get enough rest.
