Hello, You had an accident 5 days ago and are experiencing, pain in the armpits and below shoulder blades. Presently you are also experiencing clicking sound on the rib area. Trauma to the scapula, ribs, chest wall, bones, sternum, clavicle or joints needs evaluation. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP. Get X-ray done. Clicking sound from rib occurs when the cartilage on a person’s lower ribs slips and moves. It causes pain in their chest or upper abdomen. Click sound may also come due to nerve nipping or interchondral subluxation. You are suggested to take rest, avoid strenuous activities. Applying heat or ice to the affected area will give relief. For relief from pain you can take painkiller like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or Naproxen (Aleve). Get connected to a physical therapist for stretching and rotation exercises. If the condition persists you will be given conservative treatment with steroids or surgery may be recommended depending upon the severity of your symptoms. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
