Rotorhead...Despite empathizing more than a little, your post gave me the best laugh of the year.
I fuss over every little thing, and I'm lightly to pull an engine to pieces if something don't sound right...but, with clicking bits, I wouldn't worry if nothing hurts, but, I would still try to relax the foot totally - quite hard to do - and then shake it. Gently at first, then more if all feels okay. I've had some good results with shaking me bits back into position. Sounds funny, but it really works.
