Hi StanKent - well here is an update.
Your deep breath info is correct diagnosis "Pleural Effusion" . So I should change the topic to " Lung Pleural Effusion after surgery"
I talked to Mayo Pulmonologist on Friday but I had no pain at the time so he thought it would resolve itself. (I experienced three days of no pain following the injection of methylPREDNISolone in the ER at time CT scan to avoid reaction to the contrast).
But naturally on Saturday the pain started again right side and in the right lung (the first jab was like an electric bolt). So, I am careful how I breathe and move. It was maybe worse the first day and sometimes in the morning. But I am tired and have increased shortness of breath. Today I saw my Primary who ran some inflammation marker tests (ESR and CRP) and they came back elevated. He referred me back to my Mayo Pulmonologist. Getting his attention is not easy so I have to wait. I have given up hope of going on my trip. The travel is always 22 hours door to door and one has to be in good form. I felt incredibly good the night after the methyLPREDNISolone so I realize I am not in good form now
