A member asked:
My elbow has been popping whenever i straighten it for weeks. it is painless but happens every time i straighten it. is this something i should be concerned about? i play lacrosse so i think it might be related to that.

No concern: Reasons for the pop may either be CO2 has escaping from the joint or some laxity. Regardless, thus should not be a problem. If pain, stiffness, or other problems develop, then see an orthopoedist.
