Had lobectomy in 2020 still having radiating severe nerve pain.

I had it done robotically in 2016, I still have spasms where lung was removed, not by the scars, which is odd I think. When they come, they are super painful! I use to get nerve blocker shots, which hurt a lot, but work great. Need to find a new doctor who does them. I would look into pain management for the shot. I use to go 3 full months with no pain!!

Welcome to Mayo Connect @christinesallitto!, Congrats on being 8 years post-surgery. That's an inspiration to people that are just starting their surgery and treatment process. it has to be difficult to deal with the ongoing pain though, after all these years. I'm glad that you've found something that helps. Did you have a full lobectomy or a wedge resection? How was your cancer found, they weren't doing screens back then?
