Lobectomy - had lower left lobe removed 7 weeks ago. How long does the pain last?

I had a left lower lobe removed 7 weeks ago, how long does the pain last, I have a swollen side, tingling and like a burning sensation on my side. 

I start adjuvent chemo on Tuesday, 4 cycles every 3 weeks.

Can somebody please help regarding the pain and recovery, I know we are all different.

Thanks
