What is a good way to deal with pain of double lung transplant?

Hard to do.: Unfortunately lung transplantation does not afford the same quality of life benefits as heart transplant. When you read patient stories after their surgeries, their lives remain difficult. Just like so many other things in life, i would focus on the quality of life benefits you have received in functional capacity, and accept that narcotics , antidepressants and other such pills will be needed.

Pain: If the pain is related to the incisions, consultation with a pain specialist is indicated and medications and even nerve blocks may be needed.

Healing/time: As the chest wall heals from the incisions the pain should diminish substantially. Many patients two weeks after the transplant have mild pain which improves over time.
