Sternoclavicular Joint Popping / Snapping?

[JamesCH]

Hi, Hope everyone is doing well, Its been a long time since I last posted.

Its coming up on 9 years now since I was diagnosed with RA, feels like a lifetime ago!

Just recently I have been experiencing what I can only describe as a feeling of popping / snapping in my sternoclavicular joint (only on the one side), looking in the mirror while extending / moving my arm horizontally and I can see an actual pop like motion and you can actually hear it.

I have been told in the past that I have hypermobility joints. I don't know if this is specifically RA related and if not who I would be best to approach this with, GP / Physio...?

Has anyone else experienced this? I wouldn't say there's much pain just more an uncomfortable-ness and a slight reluctance to use this arm as much.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Go to GP initially as they can signpost into all the MSK teams as necessary. If you know a physio you could try asking them. Best of luck.

Sorry for not getting back sooner, thanks for your reply. I’ll certainly see if I can get an appointment with my GP.
