Patient's question:
It seems like playing too many computer games has caused my hand to lift up and I can hear the creaking sound in my shoulder. When I raise it higher, I can even hear the cracking sound in my neck. It seems like my shoulder bones are slightly protruding, and lifting my hand feels a bit tiring. When lifting heavy objects, it feels as if my shoulder might be pulled apart. It has been going on for a year. Previous treatment and effectiveness: NoneDoctor's answer:
Based on your description of your shoulder and cervical spine, you likely have cervical spondylosis with mild dislocation of the shoulder joint. A herniated cervical disc, along with the normal physiological curvature deformation of the cervical spine, can easily cause the phenomenon you mentioned, such as the "crunching sound in the neck." The outward protrusion of the shoulder bone indicates that the humeral head has shifted out of the joint socket. This displacement will definitely cause the sensation you described, such as feeling the shoulder being pulled when lifting heavy objects.It is recommended that you visit a hospital to get X-rays of your cervical spine and shoulder to diagnose the inflammation of the cervical spine and shoulder. Additional treatment can then be provided based on the specific situation. Generally, your condition can be treated with acupuncture or acupressure.
