Is it normal to hear your implant when you move your arm up and down?

Asked By:work21 in Long Island, NY

I am 4 days post op and I noticed yesterday when I stretch my right arm up and down I hear my implant. Sounds like it needs to be oiled, if that makes sense? Will that go away? First few days I heard the swishing sounds which I know are normal but this sounds like the implant stretching.
