I dislocated my shoulder....

[TheAnswer]

This happened awhile ago, and it has since recovered. However, now when I bench press I get strange, really repulsive crunching sounds in that region, but no pain. Anything to be worried about here?

[TheAnswer]

actually, it sounds more like this....

Somtimes patients with shoulder osteoarthritis hear or feel a crunching sound when they move their joint - but you should realise that this sort of noise is common and does not always indicate an underlying problem - it can occur in a perfectly normal joint. This noise is called crepitus.

You answered the question! crepitus is normal but none the less, have it checked out by a sports med specialist. They are used to injures, dislocations, and rehabilitation of those injures.
