  • Hi  I am sorry to hear you are still in pain after your lobectomy.  Everyone’s experience with surgery is different, but you have had major surgery, so I am not surprised you are still sore. Hopefully the naproxen will help. You did the right thing going to the doctors, any new pain you are experiencing or if this pain gets worse, do seek medical help again just in case there is an infection.
