What causes protruding vein and clicking noise on the right elbow?
Patient: My right elbow crease has a noticeable vein running through it that I can feel when running my fingers over it. My left arm doesn t have this. The pain is very dull and constant and gets a little worse when I constantly extend my arm. There is also a pop or click that I feel when fully extending that arm but I can t feel what it is. I thought it was distal bicep tendinitis at first but now I m not sure as it s been bothering me for about 8 months now. Doctor: Hi,  1. Vein crossing the elbow is normal and it may not be same on both sides, 2. The pain is usually not because of vein but probably it is tennis elbow of Golfer's elbow. 3 Start painkillers. If no improvement in 10 days then consulting Orthopedic Surgeon is necessary.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Gopal Goel,  Orthopedic Surgeon
