Ok here is a long story short..
Had punctured lung at 17 (chest tube for 5 days).
Usual scarring yada yada on that lung.
I fell flat on front side real hard 4 months ago.
Bad cramps in rib cage, got lighter over time, now very minimal.
Have small amount of fluid in same lung at bottom.
Dr. said it may be from old injury, or we could do more testing..
Had blood test, urine test, and x-rays..
Could my old injury (right lung) be weak and could my fall have caused the small amount of fluid?
Just wondering...
Thank you!
