▲ 7 r/pneumothorax
Continuous tightness
Hi everyone, I’m new to this sub, and it’s been really helpful for me since my mom got pneumothorax. It’s been four months since her surgery and she still feels so much tightness where it’s almost unbearable for her. It gets difficult for her to sit down, she can’t stay in the car because the bumpy roads hurts, and it’s really hard for her to sleep comfortably. She does try to stay active since the surgery btw. Doctors are saying they’re not concerned, and they’re not providing any solutions or any solid explanation at all. I feel so sad because this is really taking a toll on my mom’s mental well-being and I guess I just want some reassurance that what she’s going through will stop and maybe any types of advice people might have.
