Dear patient
Pain in left shoulder with cracking sound on movement indicates arthritis of shoulder. Cracking sound is crepiitus produced due to rubbing of two articular surfaces when they are eroded. This needs to be investigated with Xray of left shoulder anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm diagnosis and mri of shoulder joint if required. Meanwhile start tab ultracet p twice a day for pain relief. You need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon with Xray report. All the best.
