Ligament damage?: Still having pain a month after an injury suggests it was reasonably serious. Intercostal (between the ribs) ligaments help hold the ribs in place and may have been stretched, strained or torn with your injury. If the ligaments are loose, the ribs can move out of place and feel like popping. I believe it is time for you to have a good exam by your doc/orthopedist and perhaps some imaging.
