After a pleurectomy about 7 years ago, I still experience pain in my lung,ribs and surrounding skin(nerve damage) I was very poorly after the op and took months to recover, I found it traumatising and it was the onset of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome..

Anyone else been through this op?

Hello Wolfneigh nice meeting you,sorry to hear that one of the side affects are pain! Sounds like a chat with a pro of some kind would be beneficial,why dont you try the BLF as your first port of call they may be able to guide you on? Goodluck let us know how you get on.Take care now keep well and keep smiling. :) Janexx
