Well.. ouch. Seems that the awful crackling sound and my chest pains have their reason in a broken rib. Not much to do about it than to be calm and drink milk, as its high up in the chest and doesn't hurt anything internal... yet.
Hopefully it won't start pushing my breath harder than it is now (normally it doesn't hurt, a dull ache sometimes, and it hurts to take deep breaths) but if it gets worse I'll get another chance to tend it.
