newhere keep up the hope for both areas. It took me a while to figure out what i thought was causing the pain . I have a good local surgeon that i happened upon when i moved back to California. He told me he believed all my pain was real and kept helping me anyway he could think of. He was going to do an open thoracotomy if he had to . Then he sent me to DrRegan and the rest is history. I would have gone for the whole thoracotomy just to get rid of the horrible pain. I was so limited.
Oh i was reading some of my notes to my doctor and saw that laying on my side did offer relief at the end before surgery, same as you.
I'm keeping hope going that you get both areas taken care of, i know you can.,
