Side effects several months after pleural effusions?

Posted by civilboilerwife @civilboilerwife, 17 hours ago

I had about 11 pleural effusions from February - May 2025, which thankfully I have not had since May. I workout (Bootcamp) three times a week and lately have had some pain on my cancer side (mostly controlled with heat/ice/pain meds/lidocaine patches) but there's some lingering/annoying aches (as best as I can describe). A few times I've woken up with what seems like a muscle pain that again goes away with the above protocol. When I take a deep breath, I can feel a "crinkly" feeling (very hard to explain). Anyone else in my same boat?
