Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Clicking In The Joint Shoulders, Wrists, Painful. Had Tennis Elbow. What Condition Am I Suffering?
When I rotate my shoulder it absolutely crackles - and I can hear clicking in the joint of my elbow - also sometimes in my wrist and hand - All on my right side. I had tennis elbow surgery 2 years ago that didn't work and didn't heal. I had nerve surgery almost a month ago which helped the pain in my elbow a little bit - but not much.
I'm mostly curious about why everything is clicking and clacking in there. Loss of muscle? Some kind of bone problem?
Clicking or cracking in joint are not harmful until unless it is associated with pain.This is true for young person.
If you are above 40 yr of age then this can be due to early degenerative changes in joint for which you should start combination of glucosamine with chondroitin sulfates.
If it is there at young age then you should check for nutritional deficiencies .You should also get yourself checked from an expert orthopedic doctor.
Hope this will help you.
With best wishes.
