Sternum cracking
(2 discussions)
While stretching my back, my sternum cracks. Not like it breaks, its like cracking your knuckles. Its not painful, infact, the first time it happend I wasn’t actually sure what popped because there is really no feeling with it. im just curious what really is cracking and if this is normal and or dangerous.

I have been cracking my sternum for the last five years and recently I have been getting a aching pain around my chest, the pain would last for a couple of hours and then stop straight away without me doing anything to ease the pain. I have been to a doctor and found nothing wrong with me but I haven’t had an xrayn yet. I wouldnt get these pains very often and in fact only yesterday I started lifting weights again after about a year and all of a sudden there was pain. The pain would also come about after cracking my chest bone.

I get the same thing, it doesnt hurt at all, it actually feels good lol, I think for me its from dips, like in the gym smetime when I’m doing incline bench press with dumbells or just flys when I stretch the muscle I feel the pop, but I don’t understand how the sternum can make that sound cause it looks like a flat bone, at least when I’m looking at pictures off google it does.
