Popping Or Cracking In Groin Area Along With Some Pain. What Does It Indicate?

hi i am 28 years old but for a few years now , my groin seems to crack or sort of pop often when I stretch or sometimes I do it by raising my knee outward because I get a slight pain if its not cracked . Its mostly happens on right side Probably 4 or 5 times a day depending on how active ive been should this concern me?. its only a slight uncomforatble pain. Probably a 4 out of 10. 10 being the worst. My elbow also needs cracking at times when feels slightly tight in joint. (Right side also)

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Cracking the joints is pretty common practice it generally does not cause any pain but if the joints are having some inflammation then pain is more likely and in such situation cracking of joints should be avoided for symptomatic relief you can try any NSAID drug along with steroid preparation ( Acetamonphen+Ibuprofen, and Prednisolone ) are the drug of choice try it have nice day.
