hi I had fluid on the lung and a collapsed lung in May this year. It was successfully drained but 4 months later , I still get a pain where the drain went in plus pain just under the left lung . It doesn’t hurt if I sit still . I understand that the lung lining has to stick back together . But it seems to be taking a long time !!!

does anyone have any advice . ?

as always , thinking of you all and sending love and prayers 😊💤💤❤️

I had a chest drain this time last year and it did take quite a few months for the pain to go away, I think it just takes time. X
