And when I move my arm, my shoulder pops...every single time! Should I go to a regular doctor or a back doctor? What is it?!

Actually, you need to see an orthopedist who specializes in shoulder injuries. Is your shoulder popping completely out of socket? Try applying ice for 20 minutes every 2 hours and taking over the counter pain medication such as Tylenol pain.

I wish I had this 2 years ago when I damaged my rotator cuff while showing off. This is very detailed and really gives you the techniques you need to sort out your own shoulder issues and a lot more info such as preventing further injuries. If you have a shoulder keeping you awake at night you'll know it's no laughing matter.

Go to a massage therapist.. It could be a rotator cuff tear. You need to make sure you go to someone who specialises in soft tissue work, like a massage therapist.
Of course you could also have a dislocated shoulder, too... But the LMT will do all these simple, free tests to make a rational assessment, and try and give you some sound advice.

You need to see your Primary Care Physician first so that he/she can diagnosis the problem and decide if you need to be referred to a specialist for further testing and or treatment.
I wouldn't wait b/c this doesn't sound like something that will go away on it's own without some kind of therapy.

See your regular doctor. If you need to see a specialist, you will get a referral. You could just have a pinched nerve or bursitis.
