Welcome to Mayo Connect @mylungs2023. Some people are slower to heal from lung surgeries, but I'm sure it's no fun being 'atypical'. Did your doctor have any suggestions to reduce the inflammation? Is the pain like nerve pain, or general discomfort?

I had to look this one up: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/lung-volume-reduction-surgery/about/pac-20385045
It may be helpful if you posted to the Lung Health group. Others here have lung cancer experience, so many certainly have lung surgery experience, but recovery may be different too. (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/lung-conditions/)

I have tabletop hand bicycle, pulley system, and rubber bands. I have to them daily; I can reduce some swelling. The Va has been great at helping me. I had adhesions which made things more difficult for the surgeon. The pain is deep tissue along the sides of my ribcage. If I'm just atypical, this is getting ready for the double transplant. Which I should get in next 6-7 years. But on the bright side I live my life better now than before. I travel, ride my motorcycle, etc. Thank you for your response.
