A member asked:

When i breathmy chest makes popping noises, (like cracking knuckles)chest x-ray is clear.blood results are clear.what might this be?slipping rib synd?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pop: Has a physician examined your rib cage and verified that there is a pop and,if so,was it at the junction of the breast bone and a rib? A ligament with a slight separation of the joint from old injury or prior inflammation may be the cause. There would have been some old discomfort and tenderness at that joint.
