Had lobectomy in 2020 still having radiating severe nerve pain.

I had an upper left lobectomy in 2022 and still have what feels like strangling tight pain. Gabapentin helps. I originally took 900mg three times a day. I’m down to 300mg twice a day. I have a feeling I will never be pain free but at least it’s now manageable. Good luck to you.

You know in my research on post lobectomy outcomes, I recall that the upper left was the most
complex one to do because there are more arterial and other connections to undo and redo. That no doubt creates more opportunity for something to hurt!
