@babs1956 I had my left lower lung removed seven years ago as well. I have been complaining about the residual chest pain ever since. Sometimes it is quick and sharp other times it lasts awhile and feels like someone is wringing out a rag if that makes sense. I also have neck pain that radiates down my right arm. Occasional tingling and numbness in both hands and my fingers on the right hands will be purplish blue color and cold. I have gone to the emergency room and urgent care. I have been referred to a cardiologist who performed all kind of tests. No one seems to have any answers for me. I am happy everyday to get to be alive and "thriving" But the chronic pain is frustrating to say the least. I am not on any medications. Hot baths give some temporary relief. Generally I just grin and bear it

@danielleo77 I am so very sorry to hear this. Did they do robotic surgery?
