What Could Be The Reason Of Having Locking And Popping In My Right Elbow?
Hi I have been experiencing locking and popping in my right elbow. It only happens sometimes but if my elbow is bent, I sometimes can t straighten it without extra force, and then it pops or cracks. It only happens sometimes but it seems like it s been happening more often.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you are having are likely to be due to tendinitis or an inflammation around the elbow joint. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done for proper diagnosis. Mild pain killers, hot fomentation and rest will help in relieving the symptoms.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
Warm Regards
