Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having pleurisy as you are having pain and popping and your x ray is normal. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C will be helpful in recovery. You can get your CT scan of chest to further investigate it. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
