A member asked:
Is it normal to still have constant pain 2 1/2 years after having my right upper lobe removed for cancer?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not normal but possi: Some people may get pain for this long after open thoracotomy. It usually comes from fractured ribs(usually for 6-12 months). It can, however, come from a disrupted intercostal nerve, this can give rise to neuropathic pain. It is best to see a pain specialist because this is a treatable condition.

Possibly: Especially after thoracotomy - so-called post-thoracotomy pain syndrome ...
