I think that this is the most suitable area for this.

I have gone to doing no exercise to push ups and pull ups nearly everyday, and I think this has eventually caused me an injury.

I am unfortunately unable to get to see a GP for over a week so would like a little feedback from anybody who may have knowledge or experience.

On the inside of my right elbow if I feel just behind the joint (towards the armpit), and do a bicep curl motion, I can feel a clunk as the elbow moves through the motion.

Palm up makes it more noticeable, and palm down makes it less noticeable.

Now, I don't actually remember causing any trauma to this, and there is currently no pain in it either, a dull ache around the elbow, but I wouldn't say it has any pain.

I can feel it in the elbow doing a pressing motion, but I don't notice any symptoms punching pads or bags.

For now, I have stopped pull ups entirely, and cut down largely on the press ups, any other advice? Any suggestions on what this issue could be?

RICE, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. No idea what it could be though, save for potentially a form of RSI? Or you've just done too hard too soon.

To add to this, the knock happens at the same time every time, that is at 90degrees

I'm 19, I have arthritis. Crying or Very sad

I have it in my knees, my elbows and now my left shoulder. I don't know why it has happened to me, but it could be that.

A constant dull ache, seizes up when left alone for too long, without movement. Constantly 'pops' and 'cracks'. Poor movement. I initially blamed my knees on going from no exercise to cycling like a nutter after two years, I gave them two months of rest with no signs of improvement. Now gradually the same ache has gone to the rest of me, so I went to the GP, was diagnosed at 18 with rheumatoid arthritis.

Glucosamine doesn't help me. If I am about to do exercise, cycling, green laning, skateboarding, etc. I just take a bunch of pain killers and go.

Anyway, I hope it isn't arthritis, but thought I best prepare you for it. Thumbs Up

As an update to this, the Dr thinks it is the tendon sliding around over the elbow (tendonitis possible?), I have been referred for an X-Ray to check there is nothing else wrong with the joint.

Does tendonitis ever present with no pain?
