my right lung collapsed in dec 2005 and my left followed a week later and had two chest drains in at the same time (not nice )so was bed ridden and couldn't even use the loo i have since havent had any problems with my right lung but my left collapsed another five times and then the decision was made for me to have a pleurectomy on my left side and had to have part of my lung removed as it was too far gone to save so have two staples in permanently but since then both my lungs keep sticking like it's getting trapped between my ribs and it hurts to breath but the only way to shift it is to take a deep breath in until it pops anyone have any ideas to why i keep getting this???????

Does it feel like you cannot get your lungs to fully inflate? I am dealing with issues like this and have been trying to get to the bottom of it since my first SP 10 months ago.
