The past 2 days, I have noticed sharp neck pain running into my back and chest again.. last night I discovered a lump underneath my right rib cage and it makes a popping noise when touched

neck pain radiating to chest and back can be due to nerve roots getting irritated or compressed at neural foramia in cervico-thoracic region. I advise you to get MRI Cervicodorsal spine.
