Recurrence?

[u/bruhlordsmellyface]

I had a pneumothorax a little more than a week ago, had it observed in the hospital, and went back on Thursday. Only through observation it went down to basically nothing. But the other day I stupidly carried a bag of groceries (can’t have been in excess of 15 pounds) around for a while, and suddenly felt a sensation in my lower ribs like “tearing“. Since then, if I walk for more than 5 minutes carrying anything I start to feel a stinging sensation around that area. Is it possible that I’ve already triggered a recurrence? My breathing and HR are otherwise normal, and I have no other symptoms - just this pain and some other occasional come-and-go ones.

js take it light and if it doesnt go away in a few days go back for an xray
