Sometimes you tend to hear a few clicking or grinding sounds when moving or flexing your shoulders. This sound is caused by the joint scapulothoracic which is located where the scapula, also called the shoulder blade, rests against the chest wall. These sounds are very rare in a normal person.
The grinding, grating and thumping sounds produced when moving your muscles are described by doctors as snapping scapula syndrome. But, does snapping scapula syndrome cause pain?
May be heard or felt along the edge or undersurface of the scapula as it moves along the chest wall. These grinding sensations are also called crepitus. Sometimes the joint pops or thumps during movement. Often, these sensations cause no pain.
