What happens is that when I'm laying next to my girlfriend and I'm laying on my elbow on the couch at like a 90 degree angle. And then all of a sudden, pain shoots up my arm and my elbow locks. It really *ucking hurts. Then I know that I have to bend it to get it undone and when I do, it just goes "CRACK" or it sounds like knuckles cracking except for its a deeper crack and it's like 20 times louder.
Yeah, maybe I should see a doctor or something. Help Please!

Well, it only happens when I'm putting my weight on it, and hers when she is laying on it. It takes about 15 minutes and then pain just shoots up my arm and it hurts like a mother BEEP. Doesn't turn cold after it cracks, just relief.

you have been applying to much pressure to the soft tissue
avoid doing the things that you mentioned try to give your elbow and arm a rest the sound is nothing that is just soft tissue and fuild sort of a bubble
so rest it and dont attempt to make it make the sounds that is not a good thing to do

Need more info? Does it happen only when your lying with your girlfriend, is she on your arm, bearing weight? Does it hurt, do you have any numbness, does the extremity turn cold? Does is lock up in other positions / actions?
