Crack in elbow when doing push ups?
While Angela is somewhat correct (retinaculum=tendon for us mere mortals) she is not correct in saying it is harmless. Continual snapping can cause problems. When even mildly injured or stretched those parts to not heal easily since they have virtually no blood flow. The may be a misalignment that can be corrected with PT or just warming up the area prior to push ups. The snapping sound can also be bubbles in the synovial capsule (the fluid that surrounds and lubricates the joint) being pushed from side to side. That is the same sound you get when you crack your knuckles. Your rubbing description lends itself to the tendon snap.
Elbow hurts: feels like I need to crack it.?
Yes - my chiropractor thinks that it isn't "tennis elbow" - it's actually "tennis wrist" - that the problem starts in the wrist. And the problem he spoke of was having the carpel (wrist) bones drift ever so slightly up between the ulna and the radius of the lower arm. This ruins the mechanical advantage, weakens the hand and causes all sorts of odd things to happen to the elbow and shoulder. So anyway - it's a treatment you can try - if you have a chiropractor. If you don't, go to the grocery store and buy something heavy - 5 lbs of chicken. Put that in a plastic sack with the loop handles. Bring the handles up around your wrist so that you can hold the bag without using your hand - just let it hang on the wrist. Then let that weight gently traction that wrist out - think about your arm getting longer. Sometimes it works SO WELL - and saves a trip to the chiropractor. If this does work and does relieve your problem, the next thing to do is go to the drug store and get an elastic band to go around your wrist and hold the ulna and radius together - and use that for a little while.. Also watch how you sleep. Try not to sleep with your wrists all curled up. There's a reason that weight lifters have a leather strap around their wrists - the weight they lift would shove those wrist bones down into their arms pretty quickly.
What is the best way to repair dry cracked elbow skin?
Look for a cream with the medicinal ingredient called Urea. Preferably at a percentage of 10–20%. Uremol 20 is such product. But depending on what country you reside in, it may be called something different.If that is unavailable, then try to find Akerat by the company Avene. I’ve seen amazing results for a rough skin condition called keratosis pilaris.
How do I help my inner elbow tattoo heal?
Hi Rebecca.Nice phrase. I like it.You should have been given a page of Aftercare instructions by your tattoo artist. Follow those instructions.Your tat looks fine and typical. It will take a few weeks taking care of it for the puffiness to subside.Your artist probably suggested an ointment or cream to use. I’ve always used A&D which is petroleum based and I use a tiny amount. You should also wash it several times a day with a mild soap like Ivory. And protect it from the sun. In a few days it may begin to flake and itch. I use Gold Bond Anti Itch with Lidocaine. A very little amount. It’s a moisturizer too.After the itching and flaking are over, 8–12 days old, you can use any quality moisturizer on it. What ever body moisturizer you normally use is ok. And sunscreen or your white phrase will disappear over time.

How can I treat very dry elbows?
I would exfoliate regularly and try a very thick moisturizer. Vaseline makes a really good one, you can use actual Vaseline, or bag balm, depending on the severity. If it is extremely dry, cracking, I would try putting Vaseline or bag balm on before sleeping and wrapping in Saran Wrap.If you have any further questions, feel free to Contact me.
