Rotator cuff cracking?

My rotator cuffs crack constantly at every little movement. When I lift my hand from under my desk to put them ontop, they crack, when I shoulder press, they go crazy. And they aren't little cracks, it's louder 3x louder than cracking your knuckles. Even when I lay on my side I can feel them grinding. It gives me minor to no discomfort though. I am a goalkeeper so I know I put a lot of wear and tear onto my shoulders but I am worried that they are getting worse, becuase the cracking is more frequent and getting louder, and I can't afford to have them go bad on me now. So I guess my question is...are they going to get worse or is this normal?

    Are you doing any exercises to strengthen your rotator cuff? If you are not, it will probably get worst and then tear. Then you would need surgery.

    You can google rotator cuff exercises to see if it helps with the cracking.
