Pain lower right rib and cough after robotic lung surgery

Posted by mike1941 @mike1941, Mar 6, 2022

Nerve, muscle and lower right rib pain 10 months after robotic lung surgery to remove upper lobe.Also continue to cough up green- yellow mucus blob after being given antibiotic for staph infection- photo attached. Would deeply appreciate any thoughts -suggestions … have seen pulmonologist etc. told to continue inhaler and breathing exercises. No relief to pain or concern

Hi @richardjos, I hope you saw the helpful reply from @felix536.

Did you consult with your surgeon about the ongoing swelling and pain? Does the swelling come and go?

The swelling seems to stay the same, the pain comes and goes , mostly comes , I spoke to the dr from what they say , it’s all normal and can be this way for up to three months, I just hit the two month mark , so I guess all is normal, I did finally get my results back on the cancer itself, it’s low risk no chemo needed so that was great news! Thank you for your response
