What Causes A Pop When I Stretched?
I was in my car today and I leaned sideways to the right and stretched out my hands to get my glasses when I heard a loud POP sound and felt something pull on my left upper quadrant right below the left rib cage. I can palpate a bulge and if i bend over a certain way I can feel the bulge get hard and then it relaxes. Is that a hernia?

Hello,
It may be due to movement of tendon or ligament over bony prominence.
It's normal, so nothing to worry.
Avoid sudden stretching.
Do regular exercises.
In case of pain you may require further evaluation
Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
