Does it feel like you're wearing a bra 3 or 4 sizes too small or thicker your tens are caught in a vise grip? When I had my vats in 2011 they injured the intercostal nerve that ran along one of the ribs they manipulated. I still have that burning tightness. Sometimes it's worse than others. It has gotten a lot better over time.

Yes, that is the best way to describe it. A bra way too small but it’s promising that you said it gets better in time. I rub frankincense on my stomach and it takes the burn away. It’s been seven years for me. How many years is it for you? I cannot wait for this to get better. Thank you so much.

I experience the same after having a VAT surgery on both Lungs in 2020.
