i'm 15 and baseball is my favorite sport, but i can't continue playing it with such a shoulder problem. when i stretch my shoulder my bones crack and pop and it's very painful. Whenever i go to the doctor to try to sort out my problems all they do is send me in for an x-ray which never shows anything, or they send me to a physical therapist. IT NEVER HELPS i need something to be done with my shoulder. i'm desperate for help, because all the doctors around here are useless. i'm really depressed because i may have to quit one of my favorite things in life. Is there some kind of surgery that could fix my shoulder problem? to make my shoulder more smooth when i move it. because when i move my shoulder left and right or up and down it crackles and pops loudly. what could be the cause of all this??? since my shoulder pain has started i have been depressed because it feels like my sports life is falling apart. i have a heart of a champion athlete, but my body can't hold up
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

There is something called frozen shoulder and it has a few other names as well. It sounds like you may be have it. It is kinda like tennis elbow. Yes therr is a surgery for it but your doctors must first diagnosis it correctly. If you live in a small town or have a crappy hospital that could be why you were not diagnosed with it yet. My friend just had this and got the surgery. I can check with her and get some of the facts about the condition, the other names it's called by and how the surgery worked for her and let you know. Just email me and I'll get the info back to you. As far as I know it's a condition that limits the range of motion in the shoulder and causes lots of pain. Even with just regular activities. And sports are not regular activities they are extreme activities which would be why you are in such bad pain.. The surgery works and makes the shoulder have a full range of motion again. It no longer freezes up with pain halfway through. Most people get to the point where they can't even pick stuff up or stretch or do normal household things without pain. Don't be depressed. You just need a doctor that will diagnose you correctly and then they can fix it. Nothing showed up on the xrays either for my friend. It usually takes a specialist to diagnose these type of problems. Your condition could be different but it sounds very similar.. I will get back to you with the info.. Good luck!
