Cannot say: without an exam, I can only give general information. Popping can mean many things: there is the pop from bubbles popping out of a joint. Generally feels good, no pain, and has zero significance. There is repeated popping from rough tendons rubbing. There is popping from a structure ripping. There is severe pain with that. cannot say in your particular case, but generally, its the minor one.
