Morning minnie528!
I had my LUL segmentectomy in March of 2023. Had the same pains you are describing. It’s usually the nerve that causes this. I still have issues with the bra bands as they sit right on that specific area, and on where some of the incisions were made. If I turn or bend a certain way I feel like something pushes up right under my left rib cage. It’s a weird feeling, but not painful. I have just come to accept some of these as part of the process of what our bodies have been through. 6 months post surgery is still “fresh healing” as I call it. When you have parts of your lung removed things shift inside because they have more room. It just means you have to listen to your body and maybe change some of the things like lifting, turning, bending your torso. Stage 1a is a good time to have this caught and taken out. We ALL worry about our next CT check up. As I said before, no one wants to hear that diagnosis again! Try, and I emphasize that word TRY, not to worry too much. Stress is normal especially around CT time, but too much is not good for you physically or mentally. Make some “me” time for yourself to relax and let go. Even if its only a few minutes a day. If able, try to do some very easy slow stretches. And again, if able, WALK. Walking helps you heal faster and is really good for your lungs to exercise. (Even if it’s inside around your house). Wishing you the best! God Bless you!🙏❤️
