Hello, I was involved in a car accident several months ago and have been dealing with a lot of neck / upper body stiffness and pain.  My right shoulder is always tight and still unable to lift above my head. I've been working with a kinesiologist and doing a lot of strengthening and stretching but I'm having alot of shoulder clunking and crackling with movement especially when raising arm up.  Its hard to tell if my flare-ups are related. Any help is much appreciated.  

Hi Christine Not sure I get your drift. You have flare ups of pain or less movement or stiffness or clunking? More info please. The Guru Six Physio Christine replies: Just wondering if i should be concerned about my shoulder clunking.  I dont have pain with the clunking but i have pain stiffness and pain after doing exercise.  Meaning flareups. The Guru: Ah! Clicking or clunking without pain is not a problem. Pain with, maybe! The stiffness is most likely to be due to a chronic, ongoing inflammatory process - you need to deal with this part by getting better control of (not just exercising) your muscles around your shoulder. Good luck The Guru Six Physio
