Whew 2 weeks since my wedge resection and I'm feeling OK.I am shocked at the way I feel,its like my skin is to tight and though my 10 inch incision is in the back today I hurt in the front.I am also pretty numb but all the whining aside it wasn't cancer and I'm grateful .

Lung surgery requires that many nerves be cut. That is probably why you feel pain and tightness around the front of your chest. I still have numbness and occasional pain after two years. It takes a long time for those pain fibers to heal. It gradually subsides.

I'm so happy that it was not cancer and hope you have a quick and smooth recovery.

Well, I started taking an iron supplement when I asked the doctor why I was so exhausted... I have iron deficiency and I think it's helping a bit. Except for the extreme fatigue, I actually feel great.. no pain, no numbness. I'm lucky I guess... hope you will be too. Hang it there!!

I feel pretty good,no pain and the numbness is almost gone.I too am anemic and if I don't take my pill I'm pooped.I drink water with lemons and chunks of ginger so my stomach doesn't hurt and I can well dare I say use the toilet.I'm glad u feel better
