Yes I have. My latest lobectomy 7 months ago resulted in broken ribs and other problems eg blood clot in lung etc which saw me back in surgery 2 days later then back to ICU. My ribcage is still healing and causing discomfort but it is healing thank goodness , just taking time to do so.

That’s terrible what happened to you after surgery, you must have suffered a lot from that along with the surgery pain. I didn’t have any broken ribs from the lobectomy but my lung was slow to heal so I was sent home with the tube they inserted in my chest after surgery, it took a month for them to pull it out, I felt so much better afterwards because that tube was painful inside my chest, I guess we’re tougher than we thought.
