Well about 2 weeks ago i started working out alot more and breakdancing alot more. I have been using my arms a lot. I am 18.. in my prime.. i should be able to take a beating. Well all of a sudden my elbows ( like the tendons) started hurting and everytime i would open my arm it would crack (or pop however you call it) I asked a older friend and told him the situation.. he said it was probably growing pains from working out alot.. i didnt believe him so i am asking a wide opinion. What do you think? Is it growing pains or did i really mess up my elbows by breakdancing and working out.

it could be bursitis (tennis elbow), if its swelled I'd have it checked

What kinds of breaking moves are you doing?? I used to have tendonitis in my lower arm from turtles... it goes away if you stretch and roll it enough. That's what I've found with most stress injuries due to breaking... it's quite possible that that's the problem. I wouldn't worry about it too much though--if it gets really bad/swollen, go to a doctor or possibly invest in elbow pads. Otherwise, keep dancing, and make sure you STRETCH!!!

you need to go to the doctor because my daughter hurt her elbow by pulling the tendons and by doing this it pulled a piece of bone lose in her elbow she need therapy for about 7 weeks and could not play any sports until it healed now she still has to where a brace and it's been almost a year.
