Hello,
Are you a basketball player? Since when you're having this pain?! Elbow tendinitis is a common problem with basketball players. It may be simple arthritis or a muscle spasm or gas Popping sound etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Take rest, use cold and warm compression. Use tablet. Naprosyn twice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
