Pain lower right rib and cough after robotic lung surgery

Hi Mike, how is your wife doing? May I ask what condition your wife has or why she had the surgery? I'd like to connect you with others.

I assume she was given antibiotics to combat an infection that may be causing this pain. Have the antibiotics helped?

Thank you- two separate issues- Staph infection was mitigated with antibiotics, however, still coughing up a mucus blob- every two-three days and will return to pulmonologist in two weeks. Pain in bottom right rib is probably due to a severely damaged nerve and or muscle or both. Will address with pain management on March 23rd… both conditions have persisted for 8 months. Have attached photo of mucus!
