shoulder popping
Sometimes when do certain movements I hear a little pop in my sahoulder but it doesn`t hurt.
It is not in the same place I injured my shoulder pitching but it seems like it is coming from the shoulder blade or right above it.
Is it common to have those snap crackle pop noise in the shoulder area??

I have a question about my daughter, Brittany’s, shoulder.
She’ll turn nine in December and has been fast pitch pitching for about 1 1/2 years. Recently, the top of her shoulder began making a popping noise during her swing back and at the beginning of her arm circle, causing mild discomfort. Part of the problem, I think, is that she is not relaxed going into her windup. Rather, she often starts with a tense arm and even jerks it at times instead of using a nice and smooth arm swing.
Is this something I need to be so concerned about that I need to take her to a doctor or is just a case of some soft tissue rubbing against her shoulder blade? If the latter is the case, can you recommend some shoulder strengthening exercises for her? Her pitching coach seemed to think she could keep throwing but just needs to strengthen that area of her shoulder better.
I should would appreciate it if you could offer us some insight.
