5. Popping Sensation

Another rotator cuff injury sign is popping sensations. Sometimes, we can hear strange sounds coming from our bodies, especially when we get older and things are no longer running smoothly the way they used to. You will usually hear groans and creaks coming from the joints when certain parts of our body rub each other. The popping sensation that your joints produce may be due to the torn rotator cuff.

If your rotator cuff is injured, the joint will not be able to perform as smoothly as it’s supposed to. This will cause some parts of the body to be misplaced slightly. Patients describe the sound that the joints produce as, “popping” since it mimics a popping sound.
