07/06/2009 -- andy I had my first pneumo last month and had VATS done on the right side. So far my recovery on that side has been as good as can be expected 4 weeks out of surgery but. Oddly enough I have had pains in my left back (mostly) and a few in my left rib cage area. Anyone else experience this after a right side only surgery or is what I am experiencing my left lung getting ready to go? any help would be great Post Reply -- andy |
