lower left chest pain
Find low drug prices at local & online pharmacies
There are many reasons for chest pain. If it worsend with movement or deep breathing it could be a pulled musvcle between the ribs, or cartilage inflammation, it could be a viral infection, To be sure, it would help to get a repeat EKG and chest xray to compare. You could even have some residual scar tissue from the prior collapsed lung especially if you neede any surgical procedure to reinflate the lung
I agree with the previous answers. Plus if other more serious complications have been ruled out, then Costochondritis could be explored. This is a inflammation of the muscles between the ribs. Good Luck & Healthy Living!
If the pain is on the same side and sharp, it could be either some scar tissue pulling at the lining of the chest cavity or pleuritic chest pain caused by inflammation in the chest cavity. You could try scheduled NSAIDS like ibuprofen 400mg po 3X daily with meals for 7-10 days or Naprosyn 500mg po 2X daily with meals for 7-10 days. I have never heard of Xrays causing chest pain.
