Experiences with

Collapsed lung

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 .
