Dear; thanks for using our service . I will give you my medical advise. The sound that you heard could be from a muscle spasm and bone crack. you might have a pinch nerve which is the cause of the pain. Try cold compresses the first 48 hrs and anti-inflammatories . I hope that my advise will be helpful.
