Sharp painful noise in the elbow?

Question

While I was doing pushups I suddenly heard a quick popping noise in my elbow and I felt pain for like...half a second,but it stopped ,so I did a couple of more pushups.What was it?It doesnt hurt now.

Answer 1

It might have just been the sound of your elbow cracking (like how you crack your knuckles).  But then again, it may be something more serious.  I would keep an eye on it to see if any swelling pursues or it becomes painful.  If it does, you might want to get it checked out.  Good luck!
