Could use your help docs! my chest has began to pop/crack recently. can anyone help explain why?

Painful?: Popping and cracking without pain in the joints is usually not a sign of anything bad - just the sound of tendons / ligaments / cartilage. If you have pain or inflammation associated then i would see your doctor or chiropractor to be assessed and treated.
