Shoulder/rib clicks: Consider snapping scapula syndrome. Work on scapulothoracic exercises, wall walking, scapular stabilization, activity modification, ergonomic changes, NSAIDs, formal PT, etc.

Interesting: Please schedule an examination for Scoliosis or Thoracic Outlet symptoms that would affect your sport and work choices. If there is no bony or nerve effects, referral to Physical Therapy may help you with stretches and posture to avoid future concerns. Good luck.
