So I did post only a couple of days ago but this is a new question. I had a small pneumothorax (second one) 2 weeks ago and was treated with painkillers and rest, Monday my x Ray showed my lung has inflated again.
But now I am having such bad pain in my shoulder again and front of chest, no popping and gurgling. Is this normal as part of the recovery or is there chance it’s happening again?

It could be. Both times that my lungs collapsed, I was released after a few days with a chest tube and then thy collapsed again. Both times I ended up having surgery. Followed by a world of paranoia. Currently I'm in world of concern as my lung keeps making noise and I can feel it contract if I sit or lay a certain way. No pain, no shortness of breath, just noise. Trying to hold out until doc appt on Nov. 14. This life sucks.
