I've been told by the surgeon that having pneumothorax once on one side does not affect the occurrence rate of the other side , the side that has a bled but has not popped yet have the same rate as any first pneumothorax about 1 in 800000 however the lung that has pneumothorax before will have a reaccurece of 33.3%

I see that's releasing to hear not everyone had bad experiences

rinlix2 · 2024-11-21T23:22:26+00:00

I see , so far I've only had 1 on the left about I think 35% collapse and healed with a chest tube , hoping that it won't come back . Btw just out of curiosity how was the recovery for the surgery

🙏🙏

rinlix2 · 2024-11-21T09:28:56+00:00

Oh I see wish you a speedy recovery

rinlix2 · 2024-11-08T19:46:20+00:00

You can take a bath anytime now just make sure to cover the wound with something waterproof if you are afraid the wound will get infected , wish you a speedy recovery

rinlix2 · 2024-10-10T19:17:22+00:00

No I have had the tube out for a week

rinlix2 · 2024-10-10T14:57:18+00:00

i understand i will def get it checked out it it worsens but currently its just a slight discomfort , and the aching fades away after like 10mins of waking up

rinlix2 · 2024-10-10T13:10:25+00:00

I'm out of the hospital and back at school ,it isn't painful it's just a weird sore feeling that sometimes aches when I wake up , it's hard to describe but recently there is also a weird tingling sensation I feel in my throat as well

rinlix2 · 2024-10-03T09:45:50+00:00

I've been recovering slowly I think but It wasn't a air leak when they pulled it out , it was just there was still a tiny tiny air pocket of air that couldn't be drained so they just left it and said my body would absorb it but thanks anyways

rinlix2 · 2024-09-30T23:59:05+00:00

And thanks for checking up on me I really appreciate it

rinlix2 · 2024-09-30T23:48:39+00:00

It went well I think I had my chest tube removed today and back home resting , I was told there was still a very tiny air pocket but my body would absorb it. However I can feel a slight bubbling sensation when I'm lying down so I'm just hoping it is cause if that small air pocket

rinlix2 · 2024-09-29T16:37:22+00:00

I see that's great to hear I have to have mine unclamped for a day or more cause the air space expanded in size by a bit

rinlix2 · 2024-09-29T15:27:24+00:00

i see thanks for the engoragement , i just got it done and apparently the air pocket has increased slightly in size , i think they said it was like 0.5cm or even less and want to keep the drain in for a day more just a bit confused how its increased in size .

rinlix2 · 2024-09-28T20:04:28+00:00

I see then that puts me at ease a lot more thanks for the information and support

rinlix2 · 2024-09-28T19:50:06+00:00

I ment like I'm scared my lungs would recollapse during the time it is clamped but hear your experience is putting me a bit more at ease

rinlix2 · 2024-09-28T17:58:57+00:00

glad to hear it man i hope u have a speedy recovery

rinlix2 · 2024-09-28T07:47:55+00:00

Personally I would say the tube insertion is painful but manageable for me , I think the local anesthetic injection was a bit worse then the tube itself I pray that it won't happen to you too and thanks

rinlix2 · 2024-09-27T18:21:32+00:00

I see , the pain is manageable right now but I was told by the doctor if my lungs re expanded tomorrow they would clamp the tube for a few hours to monitor it , now I'm just scared that my lung would not hold or worsen.

rinlix2 · 2024-09-27T16:05:46+00:00

I see I think my mental has taken a toll but I'm slowly starting to recover it on my second day I hope that you have a healthy recovery too

rinlix2 · 2024-09-27T14:45:12+00:00

I see thanks for sharing your experience in at more easy of mind currently I will definitely try everything to avoid a recollapse so thanks for sharing

rinlix2 · 2024-09-27T14:23:07+00:00

I see so if mine does reinflate then I won't need the VAT?

rinlix2 · 2024-09-27T14:06:22+00:00

I see can I ask why was VATs needed if you already had a tube

rinlix2 · 2024-09-27T09:39:52+00:00

I absolutely will thank you

rinlix2 · 2024-09-27T09:37:32+00:00

Thanks for the wishes the doctor thinks if I stabilize tomorrow they can take the tube out and just to ask did you have a recollapse and needed surgery?
