Why is my elbow cracking/popping?
All my joints crack, and I know there’s nothing wrong with that.. But, After I carry something heavy; my elbow kind of pops/like dislocates a little bit. It hurts, and it happens often. If I’m carrying my books or anything. A lot of the time it’s stiff, and it kind of feels like what I think arthritis might feel like.
I told my mom, since it’s been happening for a while, and she’s like it’s just tennis elbow. But I barely have any symptoms of that. It’s not bruised or swollen or anything.. I get sharp pains in it sometimes.. even if I’m doing nothing.
It was especially sore during softball.. which I’m sure may have been the cause..
But what can this be?
Sorry this is so long…
Again.. it’s not swollen, so I’m not going to take an anti-inflammatory

Could be the result of an injury, lack of cartilage, or just air. Early onset arthritis is a distinct possibility but uncommon. Most of these, including arthritis, can be seen on an x-ray.
Try an over the counter anti-inflammatory for a few days. If it doesn’t help, or it helps but the pain returns when you stop, see a doctor.
You are fine. That happens in my knees. There is nothing wrong and nothing to fix.
