Fellow pneumonia succeeded has this happened to you ?

[Madondogs]

Hi ,2 years ago I was hospitalised with severe pneumonia. I was admitted to HDU as I had complications ,including a large pleural effusion that had to be drained.I am a non smoker with no underlying health problems and it was a shock to become so I'll . It took a long time to recover... I was off work for 6 months, but I am now well. However I still have regular moderate pain in the affected lung,and although my lung function tests are quite good my lung feels stiff.
I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this ,and how long it lasted .

sorry for the weirdly worded title. Its supposed to say 'fellow pneumonia sufferers has this happened to you ?'

I did wonder about the title!

I think your lung is scarred by the infection. Are you still under a respiratory consultant? If so might be an idea to have a chat with them about it but I doubt there is much they can do
