Pain after lobectomy (lung cancer) surgery: When will it go away?

@babs1956 No they did not. The lack of answers is frustrating. I am concerned there is more going on there. I have a lot of other recurring symptoms and several specialists but no real answers. In addition to the chest pain, numbness and tingling I have blurred vision, night sweats, heart palpitations, tremors (mostly in my hands but sometimes my whole body) the tremors are definitely worse in cold or heat. The list goes on. I have had a multitude of tests to no avail. My cancer survival doctor say that with my consistently elevated neutrophil levels I definitely have something undiagnosed and to keep searching. She is the only one. Everyone else just says we found nothing or minor things that add up to nothing. See you in another year. At this point I feel deflated. I can work through most of this stuff every day so I guess that is something. Just being able to talk about it without judgment helps.

@danielleo77 - From what I have read about causes of high neutrophils, it can be also be caused ny inflammation, stress and certain medications. Your situation sounds similar to my husband (not cancer) , who suddenly acquired anxiety. A lot of your symptoms are exactly what he goes through.
With all that you have been through, it could be possible. He had so many tests and CT scans on his heart, lungs, brain, etc. Nothing physically wrong. After a few years of this, his doctors all pointed to stress and anxiety. You have been through hell and are probably scared, like the rest of us, of going through it again. Talk with your doctor and see if they think this could be what’s happening. Mental health is as crucial as physical health. And Lung surgery, and the before and after, sure does test our mental well being! There is NO shame here!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

@danielleo77 I’m so very sorry. In time, I’m sure you’ll feel a lot better. Keep the faith.
