Specializes in Thoracic Surgery

Lung collapse: Pain not likelu related to the collapse per se. It could be related to the manner in which it was treated - for example chest tube or operation. That is if you are referring to pneumo thorax, air around the lung causing its collapse.

A member asked:

Can a collapsed lung occur spontaneously? Is it possible to only feel it in the back but not in the chest? Can you have one and not know it? When is it time to seek care for an odd pain around lung and difficulty taking deep breaths?
