A member asked:
I keep feeling something in my upper arm pop every time i forcefully extend my elbow. what could be causing this. the pain is closer to the shoulder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dislocation possible: I would follow with an orthopedist to examine your arm. If the pop is closer to the shoulder you may have a dislocation, labrum tear, instability or rotator cuff injury.
