What Causes A Sudden Cracking Noise Under The Rib- Cage While Leaning Forward?
I leaned over a metal arm of a chair to reach something on the floor. Did this to the side not front and heard a pop noise under the rib cage. It s been a week and I m feeling more pain today. What should I do for this? Thought for a rib injury there was nothing to do but wrap it up and take it easy....no?!

Probably there Could be a fracture Injury to your ribs. If such a patient comes to me in my clinic, I suggest him/her X-ray Chest (AP View) and review with a General Surgeon. If you have any further queries related to this medical condition you can get back to me.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
