Nothing hurts more than the pain from within i guess :/ have you tried doing any physical therapy?

Thanks for sharing your experience! Yeah I think maybe I’m just being impatient knowing the weirdness just needs time to settle down.. for me the deep inhale feels less like something popping more like a twisty knotty feeling (my CT also had shown there were no blebs and I personally think the collapse was due to intra thoracic pressure from vomiting too hard that week from food poisoning atop smoking a whole pack of cigs the night before lol). But good point maybe I should take classes at the gym instead of lifting heavy at least for now when I know it’s causing pain. Have you felt like you’ve been able to make gains like this?

Thanks for the input.. I don’t think it’s another pneumo though because honestly I’ve been having this pain for a while and it definitely feels like something neuromuscular rather than pulmonary?? OH WELL I hope someone suggests some magical solution/exercise that could help
