What Causes Severe Elbow Pain?
I am currently being highly annoyed by what I can only call a sternum cramp. It feels like a joint cramp like one would get in a need or elbow right before a rather loud pop. To my knowledge a sternum should not have such a joint but all the same the feeling is there being highly annoying and rather painful at times.

Hello,
It could be a tennis elbow.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
In severe cases steroid injection to the joint cavity might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
