My Breast Bone

For the last 4 weeks my breast bone has been aching and cracking when I stretch, or even when I sneeze. It is such a relief when I am finally able to crack it, but I wonder why this has happened now. It needs a good cracking now. If I removed it and dropped it in a pot with salt and pepper and boiled it for a while, the cartilage would transform to gelatin and I could make a nice soup stock with it. I guess that goes for the meniscus cartilage in my knee that I damaged as a teenager.
