Hi just woke up and I m laying on my back on my bed and when I breath in there is this rumbling sensation on my left side in my back slightly to the side. Feels like my ribs are rubbing against something every time I breath in. I would say its sort of in the kidney area but I m not completely sure where exactly the kidneys are precistley. I don t really have pain just this rumbling/slight cracking sensation, but can only feel it not hear anything. Thank you for your time Jamie dodson
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As your symptoms make me understand, that your scapula is rubbing over the rib cage as, that is the only possibility. Due to weakness of the muscles of the back, there will be such cases. I will advise you to strengthen the upper back muscles and also perform regular breathing exercises. Both of it will help strengthen the muscles and help you get rid of that rubbing sound. You should take the help of a physical therapist to understand what muscles actually need strengthening and also to learn the different types of breathing too. I have been seeing cases with similar complains and I can feel that sounds too. With the physical therapy they respond well. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
