its very normal I assure you .It has happened to me a million times..Its from putting yourself in a  abnormal position and using muscles that you don't normally use..it causes a shaking afterwards for a little while..completely nomal I assure you 100 percent..

Your shoulder joint is held in capsule that is not completely sealed, that is that it is sealed by muscle, ligaments and and an articular capsule made of cartilage, however it is not completely sealed which is good so that it can move more freely, but it can also make the shoulder easy to pop out of its socket.  That popping sound in your shoulder is probably the whole shoulder joint capsule making contact with another bone in the shoulder joint area, like I said it the joint is not completely smooth and when you work out a movement might possibly put enough stress on the joint capsule to come in contact with another bone in the area creating that "pop" until it returns to its normal position

There are a lot of possible reasons why you are feeling the pain. It will all depend on many factors. What is the type of pain? Any alleviating and releaving positions?\n\nElbow pain can mean arthritis, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), medial epicondilitis etc.\n\nWas the pain a result of trauma or it just happened?\n\nCarpal tunnel is different since it happens in your wrist area. Although you may have pain in the elbow area during movement, it is just caused by the muscles supplied by the median nerve. Note, the median nerve is the nerve primarily affected in carpal tunnel syndrome.\n\nTry putting hot compress on the area to relieve the pain temporarily or you may take mefenamic acid if you really can't stand it. Good luck

It may be that your ulner nerve is compressed; other that that I suggest you go see a nurologist! Soon!

The Real Deal on Cracking Your Kuckles\nWhat's really happening when you "crack" your knuckles is that you are either pushing the joint back into or out of its normal position. Joints are the meeting points of two separate bones which are held together by connecting tissues and ligaments. A thick, clear lubricant (made mostly of carbon dioxide and some nitrogen) called synovial fluid is found between the bones. When you stretch or pull your finger to get that desired popping noise, you are causing the bones to pull apart. Pressure is reduced on the synovial fluid and bubbles form that quickly expand and then burst - which is why you get that noise.\n\nDoes Knuckle Cracking Lead to Arthritis?\nNot everybody's joints crack. Some people have a larger separation between the bones and some people can't relax enough to allow the bones to separate. If you can crack and your mom tells you, you're going to get arthritis, she's just yanking your chain. There is no scientific evidence that cracking your knuckles leads to arthritis. However, it can't be good to repeatedly push a joint beyond its normal physical range. Besides that, it's annoying. Cracking your knuckles can cause a decrease in your grip but unless you're signing any multi-million dollar contracts as a pitcher, it's not worth giving up. But it's still annoying.

I have no idea what joint you are referring to but you likely pinched a nerve. Don't push it as you will just make it worse.  The stiffening is the muscle tightening because the nerve is injured.  You shouldn't do anything until it's 100 percent better.  It's very easy to injure yourself when you are being athletic so don't forget to do warm ups etc.  All the things you do now will come back to haunt your body later...TRUST ME on that one.

you may of trapped a small nerve rather than pulled a muscle.but wen you pull a muscle usually it doesnt bruise from the outside.it sounds more like a trapped nerve because offthe pain shifting.get checked out by your doctor

All that you can do is ice the elbow and take pain pills. Even though you shouldn't play on it you must have to. Just remember this, if you don' give it time to heal you can injure it more than it was. All that tennis elbow is, is an inflammation of a tendon that rubs against your elbow bone. If you want you can perchance a strap that goes around your elbow to make sure that tendon doesn't move. It is always nice to take a pain pill, but you shouldn't. If you do you won't feel the pain that your elbow hurts and you will keep playing. Making the elbow much worst than when you began. I had tennis elbow over the summer and it really bothered me. I couldn't play  for a while, and when it did hurt I had to stop and put ice on it for 20 minuets. Hope that it doesn't get much worse.

nope it can actually damage your elbow joints if you do it in a hard surface. The reason people usually army or martial arts is to build up the motion of your body up and down, but then again you are doing other types of exerxises that help strenghthen the area of the elbow reducing the chances of damage. If you really want a work out that does you better for both stamina and strenght do them slowly down and slowly up.

Perhaps you have a fractured vertebra???  This is what happened to me. Good luck.

A clown in California \n\nhttp://www.funnyclown.com/flash.html\n\nA comedy Club in Columbus, Ohio  \n\nhttp://www.gofunnybone.com/\n\nMedical speaking there is no funny bone.  When you smack your elbow, running down the inside part of your elbow is a nerve called the ulnar nerve.  The ulnar nerve controls feeling in your fourth and fifth fingers. It's also one of the nerves that controls the movement of your wrist.  \n\nYou get that funny feeling when the ulnar nerve is bumped against the humerus, which is the long bone that starts at your elbow and goes up to your shoulder.\n\nIt is called the funnybone because humerus bone sound like the word "humorous".  It is also called that because other people think it is so funny when you hit yours.

My understanding is that it actually hurts it.  If poping it everyday for many years, arthritis could actually form and cause even more pain and make it harder for you to move.  If you are having problems with your back, go see a doctor and see what can be done.

It has been incorrectly attributed to synovial fluid moving suddenly (popping) from one side of the synovial fluid cavity to the other when the one side is under pressure.\n\nIt is ACTUALLY the sudden stretching and 'relaxing' of your tendons over your joints as you put the tendons under tension when snapping your fingers.

Tennis elbow is a degenerative condition of the tendon fibers that attach on the bony prominence (epicondyle) on the outside (lateral side) of the elbow. The tendons involved are responsible for anchoring the muscles that extend or lift the wrist and hand.  Tennis elbow happens mostly in patients between the ages of 30 years to 50 years. It can occur in any age group. Tennis elbow can affect as many as half of athletes in racquet sports. However, most patients with tennis elbow are not active in racquet sports. Most of the time, there is not a specific traumatic injury before symptoms start. Many individuals with tennis elbow are involved in work or recreational activities that require repetitive and vigorous use of the forearm muscles. Some patients develop tennis elbow without any specific recognizable activity leading to symptoms. \n\n\nPatients often complain of severe, burning pain on the outside part of the elbow. In most cases, the pain starts in a mild and slow fashion. It gradually worsens over weeks or months. The pain can be made worse by pressing on the outside part of the elbow or by gripping or lifting objects. Lifting even very light objects (such as a small book or a cup of coffee) can lead to significant discomfort. In more severe cases, pain can occur with simple motion of the elbow joint. Pain can radiate to the forearm.

Try resting it and seeing a doctor!  A month is a long time to be in pain and if its not getting better then the exercise is NOT helping.  The popping could be due to a loose ligament, you need medical advice!!!  Get it before you do any serious damage to the joint.

You might have sprained or pulled the muscle. A nice massage might help.
