What Causes Pain In Lungs?
Hi Dr, Before 1 and half yr back I had taken dots for right lung plural effusion. After completed 6 month course dr did xray that was fine according to dr. But now I am feeling pain at right lungs at the time of long breathing and some time feeling ok. As I had met with same dr he told me that this pain will be continue for 1 to 2 yr or long period this is because the skin of lung became hard or thick. Please Dr suggest to us as I am very depressed due to that. Thanks in advance Laxman

it is common fact and there is nothing to worry that much!
due to old infection and the fluid collection, the normal pleural membrane has been scarred, disturbed, fibrosed and thus restricting normal lung movements causing these symptoms.
however, as there is no evidence of tuberculosis, fungus or malignancy it will heal itself in course of time.
all the best!
