For the last week, I've had a pain in my left collar bone area. I wake up feeling fine but the first time I eat, it starts up and hurts every time I breath deeply, swallow, or if air comes up. I called my sugeon's office and they said that based on what I was telling them, it wasn't surgery related but that I should get it looked at. I just got back from seeing my PCP and he's sending me for a chest x-ray tomorrow to make sure that it isn't a leak.
Has anyone else had symptoms like this in that area?

Nothing yet. I did the x-ray Friday afternoon but I don't know how long it'll take to get the results back. I didn't think there was a chance of leaks this far out?? I figured if that were the case, symptoms would have shown up a lot sooner would they not?
I'm doing ok. I'm having some pain in the lower left side of the abdomin as well but the doctor can't find anything wrong there and thinks that it must be scar tissue from the surgery. He offered me pain killers but neither one is close to being bad enough for me to want them.

Geesh!  I can't imagine.  I have had such a problem-less time that I wouldn't know what to do if pain started up!!!  Hang in there!
