I had 6 of those, does sC smoke? It happens to Tall and skinny person mostly, but im not that tall, and not that skinny, So yeah, i got 6 pneumos , 1st didnt require surgery on left side, second on right side, no surgery, 3rd one LEFT , still no surgergy none of them went over 35% of lung being collapsed, take around 2 or 3 weeks to stick back up.
4th on left side, i got a surgery ( hurts like a motherfucker ) they have to make 3 holes , front, side and back, they get in there with a small camera from side, scissors from the front and little tool to grap the shit from the back, they have to pry your ribs and cut some nerves to get there, so when you wake up, you feel like somebody just smashed a baseball bat in those ribs, ti took 4 months for me to get back to work (physical job), 2 years and half later im still not 100% but it doesnt bother me that much, nerves arent totaly rebuilt yet, but he should have no problem sitting and playing computer games, the body fatigue builds up much faster so he wont be playing 10 hours straight for a while.
Got 2 more on right side since then, no more surgery. surgery somewhat changed my life, im gonna push back the 2nd one for as much i can. im 26 years old, first pneumo was at 19. i get those every 2 years or so.
P.S; The surgery isnt the hardest one to do. its quite simple and doesnt require time.. dont worry about it too much, the recovery is quite painfull, but the morhpine they give u helps ALOT.
Im with you, your not alone in that situation, dont give up! Get well soon , you have a new fan in me.

I had one in my sleep on a weekend last year, thought it was just back pain and didnt go treat it for a day and a half, when i went to clinic they told me i had near 100% pneumothorax (the lung was collapsed and shrivelled up like a grape, I let it get worse by not getting it checked out asap). I could only breathe with the other lung, and barely hold my breath.

Hell no, if you have a 100% collapsed lung, your a not sleeping and its 911 emergency,
100% is death or a new lung, you MOST be mistaken maybe it was near 100% UP but not way in the world was it 100% down, sorry bro. at 40% you have back pain,you lose feeling in the throat and arm, you feel sick and turn green from the lack of white cells in your blood.
And you would freak the FUCK out way before you breath from 1 lung. seriously..
P.S; 1st one i ever got was sitting in a car, and the 5 others were just random, i think the temperature plays a big role, it happens before winter or before summer. when temperature switch a lung collapse.. hopefully my left side wont EVER do it again, i had surgery on left, right is still weak and im betting itll drop sometime soon @.@

i said NEAR 100% in my post...
AND if you read my post correctly, they said it was near 100% when I went to the damn emergency room (which was 1.5 days after waking up with the initial pain) being unable to bear the pain. If you leave it untreated, it will obviously shrivel up more and be in worse condition. So I woke up with probably a mild pneumothorax and it rapidly worsened condition over that time span. That's what happens, with you know, leaks...
You think I casually walked into the hospital? LOL.... I had most of those symptoms and I thought I was going to die at any moment, and I obviously didn't fucking walk more than 10 steps the second day.
you assumed way too much BS in your post, not a very smart way of posting, sorry bro...

Oh very nice..... NO... If you go above 35% they insert a drain, put the drain in water and it bubbles gently, they remove the tube (drain) when the lung is pushing against it, pulling the drain stresses the tissues around the lung so it makes a even stronger tissue, if the patient had other pneumos in the past on the same lung, its up to the doctor to decide if they do a Bullectomie or a thoracotomie, bullectomie is not invasive, its only 3 small holes, doesnt leave a mark. Thoracotomie they open the whole side and that leaves a big mark, if bullectomie somehow goes wrong during procedure they do thoracotomie by default. if its under 35% they decide to either send you home with a visit in 2 weeks or keep you 2 or 3 days for safety but does not require any drain or surgery. 2 weeks and your back on your feet at 100%. If your lung goes down above 70% my buddy, your are not letting a second pass between 911. you CANNOT be consciously breathing from 1 lung while the other is collpsed, your deeply druged or knocked out, with emergency surgery the same day, and you would have a story to tell, this is no small tube or small holes.

Get well sC we care about you <3 !

Had one on my left lung back in October 2008 ,and on my right lung September 2009.
5 Days in the hospital each time , no surgery, as a common practice here you only for the surgery on a second pneumothorax on the same lung... supposedly theres a 60% chance of getting a pneumothorax on the same lung for the 2 following years...well guess im clear of that statistic pretty soon  5 Painful days
When I had my second pneumothorax I kinda knew what it was, but waited 2 weeks before going to hospital ...done my uni exams smoked my last pack of ciggys ...and quit smoking ever since
Get well fast

My thoughts go out to you young baller, I'm sure you'll be fine in no time!!

hope surgery goes well and he gets better soon!

Good man, stop smoking. i had 3 and half years passed before my third one, the second on left side, Most of mine were small and i dont rush to hospital anymore, i know EXACTLY the symptoms and got pretty good at dealing with it, when you bend over or move around, you can ear your lung moving with some weirds inside noise, really funky... im still smoking after 6.. im such a dumbass.
