It’s the sounds of the bone and cartilage moving around. It should diminish as your chest heals.

Thanks I’ll stop worrying now

There’s a lot to worry about post OHS. They can’t wire the sternum tight enough to stop movements that you might hear as creaking and grinding. I also have the problem with the front of my pelvis from when I was pregnant with a very healthy, active, large baby!
