I'm now 2 and 1/2 weeks post-op and am handling the pain very well except at the site of my thoracotomy. The pain in the surrounding muscles is awful and the pain meds hardly touch it. I've been able to move and do more as each day passes and yet I find that each morning, I am more and more stiff in that area...I'm assuming due to my increased activity. Has anyone else experienced similar pain near the thoracotomy site post-op? If so, how did you handle it?
Thanks!
Thanks!
