A member asked:
If i raise my arm straight up, then lower it it would pop. there is no pain,swelling or discoloration. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arm pop: Popping with movements of our joints Is. Normal .typically the movement creates a small cavity which fills with gas that becomes released with motion and hence producing the pop sound and or sensation.. This is usually only of concern if it is associated with pain,swelling, discoloration,or stiffness.
