Yeah, Doc said a lot of the pain i get is nerves healing from where they made their various incisions and left scars that look like shoddy aluminium welds.
Ha, this all happened in my late twenties and the doc reckons I've possibly had another since. TBH, I'm not too bothered, I just tend to get on with it and if something doesn't feel quite right just pop into hospital. Thankfully my new doc's a cyclist and is understanding, and has just given me x ray forms already filled out, so I can just pop in and get checked out straight away if and when I need to.
But yes, lung poking is definitely not the way ahead.
