Lobectomy done, pain from the tubes

Hello everyone,

i had the lobectomy done on Thursday, and I’m still in hospital. The pain from the draining tubes is quite severe, certainly much worse than I expected.

A lot of fluid is still coming out of my chest, so I’m not sure when the tubes come out.

Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you get through itAny advice welcome.

Best.

  • I'm ten day post op after lobectomy. It is less painful when the drain comes out. Still very uncomfortable. Feel ok in myself. Unable to sleep in bed. To painful getting in and out.  Sleeping on a recliner. Glad your op is over. Hope you get the drain out soon. It does get easier. All the best.
