Default potential injury?

wats up guys, for the past 2 years ive been weight lifting on and off... up till the last few weeks i noticed a cracking and slight poppingin my left shoulder.... its like a joint is moving or something i dont know.. i think i got it from bench pressing... i was wondering if anyone with weightl ifting experience or any shoulder injuries has any indication what it could be and what i should do.. my last resort is the doctor

Hey i had this problem in both shoulders.. but i have previous injuries... dislocated should 4 times on my left.. i would go see a doctor becasue they have this easy workout thing that they give you that strengthens th shoulder back up and mine went away pretty quick.

I was lifting earlier this week and my shoulders were hurting like hell after words. It hurt when I moved my arm. I put some bengay in the evening and it was fine after like 30 min. If you think you have a joint problem, Bengay probably won't do any good since I think its more for muscle problems than joint pains. Are you using proper form while lifting? I know you can get injured badly if you don't do exercises correctly, or you are lifting too much weight and you aren't able to lift it properly. Advil might also help for the pain. If its really bothering you, I'd consider seeing a doctor.

lol i know ur not responsible, my form is good it may have happened once when i was benching and i maxed out the weight and was probably stupid of me.... its weird i will lift my arm up and pretty much everytime i do it i will feel something popping in my shoulders, ive been going real light the past few weeks with weight and plan to continue going light, i guess ill have to see the doctor
