What Causes Popping Sensation In The Left Elbow?
Hi , I have a kind of popping sensation or clicking at my left elbow when I spread my the fingers on my left hand and bend my forearm up. It does not hurt but it seems like something is not right. I am left handed, 65 years old, and have never had this before although I have done a lot of physical work over my life. Any idea what might be causing this? I do not have this in my right elbow which operates smoothly as usual.
