Sounds like arthritis to me.

It's really not something to worry about. Everyone has some cracking and creaking of joints and it changes frequently. It may be you've overused your elbow and strained the tendon a bit. Take it easy if you're doing any repetitive motions. Ibuprofen can help and try a hot or cold compress. It should be fine. If you're doing press ups place your hand on the floor and try to make sure the bone in the base of each finger is contacting the floor and then lean into the hand. There are a lot of bones in your hand and wrist and they can grind against each other. Getting the weight into the bones first helps align them properly.

i think you may be working to much if you havent warmed up before doing these excercises they may have caused to make your joints to rub agaisnt eachother, i had that before in teh ankle but thas cz i ran all day xD, you should see your doctor cuz it can turn out serious like authoritis or something :S
