oh my goodness! I cant believe i am reading this. This happens to me a lot and hurts bad when it pops but then it feels fine afterwards. I dont really have a reason for it I just thought you my like to know someone else has that happen too. Take care.

It might also be costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage and bones in the chest wall. Here are two links on this orthopedic condition.

Hope it helps.
