How was your pain after a lobectomy?

Hi,
Yes, it’s been nonstop pain. I’m writing this in the ER. I woke up with a huge hump of air all down my left back.
I’m going to be admitted so that a radiologist can insert a small chest tube in the hopes of releasing the air.
My doctor came by and said the CT showed some fluid.
So…
If the small chest tube can’t drain everything, then he will have to put a regular chest tube in and see where there could have been a “dislodgment” that caused this sudden change.
I am so done.

@yts5361 Oh dear. Your experience has really been the stuff of nightmares! Two months out and still problems like this! Are you now in the same hospital where you had the surgery?
