Not trying to be a hard a$$ or anything, but I am 22 and have been playing baseball since I was 5 and my shoulder pops every time I rotate it. 7 years of football didn' t help either. Just have to get tough and go through it. I promise once you stick that deer all the pain will be gone. If you think something is seriously wrong then get it checked out, but it sounds to me just a strain and some inflamation. After I tore my ACL in my knee and had surgery, the doctor prescribed me some Vioxx for the inflamation and pain. Has worked the best on pain for me than anything I have ever taken over the counter. Good luck this season!!!
