Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
As per your history I would like to keep some differential diagnosis.
Cause of popping sensation can be due to rib costochondritis, liver involvement or lung involvement.
You may need further investigation to rule out cause of popping sensation.
Ultrasonography abdomen and pelvis along with blood LFT will help in diagnosis.
I will advise to do HRCT chest consulting your treating doctor.
SPECT scan can detect lung involvement in early stage in cases where CT scan is normal. Do you have history of smoking?
You may need blood investigation like ESR, CRP, and CBC.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
