A member asked:
Hello doctors. about 8 months ago i had a lymph node biopsy. right after surgery my r/h lung collapsed. since then i have had pain. is this normal?

Unusual: Would be unusual to have ongoing pain from a previous pneumothorax (collapsed lung). However, if it was treated with chest tube or other intervention, an intercostal nerve injury could result in prolonged discomfort or chronic pain syndrome.
