I was in a car accident, which left a hole in my lung. I want to know if anybody has ever had to deal with something like this, and how long the recovery took because I would love to be running again soon.

Answer 1

you can get some *** with that story

Answer 2

I had a spontaneous pnuemothorax in 1994.  I was back running in about 40 days from the date of the event.  I was cautioned against it by my Doctor but I started out power walking and gradually moved up to running over the period of 2 weeks.  I was scared about running, because I had just finished running when my lung collapsed.  I&#039;m fine today though, so I guess it worked. :)

Answer 10

my right lung spontaniously collapsed when i was 18. it then collapsed again 4 months later and i was operated on. they removed a tiny portion of my lung that had a bleb, or weak spot. i was cut open 7 inches and had my ribs spread apart to expose my lung in the operation. it hurt terribly for a month as i was bed ridden. then it took a year or two before the severe pain went away. im fine now, and im 44. but i still feel where they operated on my lung, and sometimes i feel short of breath. my great uncle had a similar operation 30 years before i did and he lived to be almost 90 years old without nay problems. he never complained about it. not fun though i can tell you that.

Answer 11

Answer 12

no, sorry i never have, but , i hope that you feel better soon!  

Answer 13

Deeper injuries can take longer, but I&#039;ll give you this advice. Follow your doctor&#039;s instructions, and never give up.  Stay in shape by taking walks (if that doesn&#039;t cause you pain, and it&#039;s OK with your doctor).  

It doesn&#039;t seem like much, but it does a lot--staying active will make it easier to start running again when you are healed.
