It took 3 hours of surgery, 2 chest tubes then 36 days in the hospital to get these cleared out of me. At the time I didn't know how serious this is, but I do now!
I believe that vaping is what caused my plural effusion and empyema. I started vaping last year when a friend introduced me to it. I did it for like 6 weeks and I then started having intense pain in my right intercostal muscles after chopping wood. Around a month later it got so bad that I had an X-Ray at the doctors and was then immediately taken to the hospital. It turned out that I ended up getting pleural effusion and empyema on my right lung and I was hospitalised for a month because of that. I definitely do not recommend vaping at all. No better than smoking.
I received treatment for empyema with a posterior thoracotomy and it was second only to shattering my T12 in terms of pain. Would not wish that on anyone.
17 years back,I was diagnosed with right plural effusion,I was given tuberculosis treatment and duration of 6months,I was cured,but now I am coughing non stop,is it possible for the effusion to return again?

I had a left lung empyema in 1990 the hospital did not drain it now my lung is calcified, breathing and chronic pain is an issue. I sincerely wish you well my friend.

Me too. There were times as I was healing that I wished I could just die. Glad I did t but healing was a very long road.
This was an absolutely fantastic video--clear, concise, easy to understand, all in a short time frame
