My boyfriend just had surgery for a spontaneous lung collapse. This is his second one and they suggested surgery to prevent it from happening again. The first one he had was not as painful in his shoulder than the most recent one which they said was not as bad as the first one,. He had the surgery and is in a lot of of pain especially in his back and pain medication is not working. Is this normal for this surgery to have this much pain in your back to make you not want to move.
