i had an operation 3 days ago and a metal plate was put into my collar bone. Since coming home i can not get rid of a very loud rumbling mainly in the right side under my breast, ribs and in the centre..... it so loud, bangs grumbles and it also is painful as it feels im being punched from inside...what is this...mainly at night!!!
Dear patient Your described sound may be arising from chest infection. Were you given general anesthesia during your surgery? If yes putting of endotracheal tube may invite infection with collection in chest and hence sound. I would advise visit to chest physician as soon as possible. X-ray of chest posteroanterior should be done. Hope this is useful.
