                        On Oct.21,2000 I had a spontaneous pneumothorax.  The Dr.s felt that It would heal on itself but after 7 chest tubes and 3 weeks in the hospital I finally had to have surgery.  I feel great but I have a lot of discomfort and pain on the side where all the chest tubes were inserted.  Does anybody know if the pain ever goes away?
