What Is The Cause Of Shoulder Pain Without Trauma?

I've been having pain in my left shoulder for about two weeks now. If I hold my arm close to my body and simply raise it up to the side of my head like I'm going to ponytail my hair it's okay but if I extend my arm out in front of me and reach for something it hurts down my arm. If I spread my arm out like a birds wing and try to lift it, my shoulder hurts. It hurts to get dressed and my shoulder makes a popping noise. I don't recall any injury to it.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
This type of shoulder pain is due to compression od shoulder muscles known as rotator cuff. This thing called as impingement syndrome. I would recommend you to show to a physio and start short wave ditheremy. If symptoms don't improve than get an Mri done. Some time a steroid injection in shoulder also help.
