Increasing pain over time after Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery

I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I had VAT surgery end December 2021 with wedge resection in right upper lobe. They removed a 3.1cm cancer stage 1b. I was off pain meds in five days. For two + months I had usual nerve pain under right rib. But it did go away. Then weeks later I noticed a slight soreness when I took a deep breath. Slowly this increased. My Pulmonologist said there was nothing on the CT scan to indicate a problem. But the pain has slowly increased and now after 9+ months it is a pain behind the breast which I certainly notice when I take a deep breath. My last CT scan was end October, but Pulmonologist made no comments Three days ago I started to have a pain on the right side below rib cage(not related to breathing). I can only see my Primary Care Physician next week and nurse triage said go to Urgent care to get things started. I am leaving for Europe in three weeks for a month and I sure do not want to have problems. Does such pain just come with thoracic surgery ???
