OH dude! I had a lung surgery as well, and that tube was removed as well… the most painful part was when they had to remove my bandages! part of my skin came off with it… looking at this from another point of view is more painful lol awch!!! hope you’re all good now, I’ve never had a problem afterwards. thnks for posting. cheers.
hospital for seven days. you looked so much better than i did at that stage! the whole thing was exceedingly painful and uncomfortable for me. at least the people at MGH did a good job
Daaam I’ve been through this last week but I didn’t look once! Its weird to watch it now. My stitches will be removed next week. Weird how you said it didn’t hurt that much, that effing tube hurted like hell all week for me. I was on morfine for a few days (after the operation, which was the most painfull thing I ever experienced) but after the morfine, I could barely sleep without extra medication. It was also spontaneous, I woke up and could barely breath. At least it made me quit smoking!
OMG, that chest rube removal looked just dreadful, as well as those bruises! Ouch. Those chest tubes hurt bad going in too. Hope the recovery was non-eventful and successful.
I did not smoke when I first started experiencing the spontaneous pnuemothorax. the surgery was indeed to remove the blisters, stapling the holes shut afterwords
my doctor never told me to breath when he took my chest tube out…..one of the nurses had me to hold her hand….probably because she knows that it’s going to be painful.
This was not painfull, it just felt strange/uncomfortable. I was on pain pills the whole time in the hospital (5 days), but the did not use a local. As far as I know they haven’t discovered a disease or genetic trait that causes this, blisters in the lung that collapse forming holes, other than that it is more common in taller lankier individuals… i’m 5’11′ 170lbs but whatever…
thats exactly what i had with a tear in my lung as well, they had to go through my ribs etc, and when they yanked it out it felt like fire all over my body i screamed so loud. Because of the location of my chest tube it was in at an angle and hurt like a mother!! the pain level really depends on the position of it so everyone different
I had my lower left lobe removed because of an abscess and I remember taking this tube out. That was a great feeling getting rid of that. What kind of surgery did you have?

do you smoke? because they told me that was a contributing factor as well. and did you have the surgery to remove the blisters?
