    Im a 14 year old girl, A little while ago i had 2 surgeries to remove empyem that i had next to my lung, there was over one liter with fluid there. I started getting sick in august right before school started, the first few days i had so much pain in my upper back and my chest on the left side it almost felt like i would get stapped by something really sharp every time i would take a breath! And then it only got worse, i could not lay on my sides and i would throw up several times a day and i had dificulities breathing. i was really tired all day. i would literally lay in my bed all day, like lierally i wouldnt leave my bed at all because i was way to exausted and in too much pain to do so. When i had felt like this for 3 days my mom made me go see the doctor. I described my pain and how i felt to the doctor and he simply just sayd that i problably had just sleept in a bad way and that was why i had so much pain in my back and that it was totally normal to throw up bc of this. He didnt even run a bloodtest. He then sent me home. The next day i almost couldnt breathe, and i had a fever so my dad called an ambulanse who took me to the hospital:) they then ran all kinds of tests on me but they had no idea what was wrong with me. They first thought that i had some sort of cancer but later found out that i didnt. I was in so much pain that i didnt think, i wasnt scared at all. I dont remember much from the first few days in the hospital bc i was simply too sick to think clear. After like 4 days they found out that i problably had fluid next to my lung and then after some days they drained my plural cavity from fluid but they didnt get most of it bc it was an empyem (they didnt know yet) the colour of the fluid was kind of brown/red ish. They ran tests of the fluid to find out if i had an empyem and i had. I then had an operation where they removed the empyem and then put in two big draines to get all the liquid out. I aslo had a phnemonia btw and my lungs were filled with pus. The day after the surgery they had to undergo another surgery bc the last one didnt go too well, one of my lungs was completely white in the exray they took that day. So they rushed me to the next surgery and planned to put me in a coma for some days bc i couldnt breathe myself and for some other reasons that im not shure of. But they succseeded the surgery and i woke up a couple hours later in a lot of pain. Four days later i was put of morphine bc i wast in that much pain anymore and i could finally stand up for the first time in weeks! I then started getting better and better. I got oxynorm and oxycontine for over a week tho bc i was still in a lot of pain and i was given atibiotics in my blood for two weeks i think, then i had them in pill form for 4 weeks. All the fluid wasnt gone but most of it was and i dindt need more surgery:) when i first came to the hospital my weight was 55 kg and when i got out it was 47 bc i couldt eat. I almost didnt drink either. Im so glad i was surronded by supportive and nice people all the way, the nurses, doctors and my mom were the best i could ask for. My family was also great but my mom was there supporting me every single day so that means a lot. I was there for 20 days but now im finally out:) there is so much more i would like to write about my illness but im not english so i dont know all the words:)

    I had pneumonia one year ago in the lower portion of my right lung and I still have moments when I lay down on my back that I can feel a fluid type movement in that exact spot. I have no symptoms however and no pain. My doctor thinks it’s just inflammation but it’s so weird how it feels like a fluid type movement when I breathe. Even a year later after that horrid experience with pneumonia my energy is always extremely low. I wish I knew what was causing everything but I can definitely say pneumonia is up there for the worst illness out there. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

    If a casualty is experiencing tension pneumothorax or cardiac tamponade is it still ok to give CPR (in particular the chest compressions) as would this not push more fluid from the heart in the the pericardium/ pump more air into the plural cavity.
    Also would you ever need to perform a chest decompression if it’s an open wound as wouldn’t this allow air escape that way?
    (Sorry if this may seem like a stupid question but I have limited medical education and unfortunately i know I would never manage to make it to med school. I’m just interested- thanks)

    I had a severe pneumonia with left lung pleural effusion November 2013. You feel like you're drowning. It's very terrifying. The doctor had to give me morphine just to do a CT scan of my chest to get me to relax.
    Once they did a thoracentesis on me and did three treatments of clot busting agent over the course of a couple of days to break up the fluid, I was fine and the antibiotics did their job. The drained fluid looked like burnt automotive transmission fluid. If the thoracentesis with clot buster didn't work, the option of taking pieces of my left lung out were on the table.
    The thoracentesis didn't feel that bad with a local. It's much better than the alternative of having your ribs cracked open and pieces of the infected lung removed. It only majorly hurt if I rolled on my left side while I was in the hospital. It was a nuisance because I typically sleep on my left side so it was an ouch experience until I started sleeping on my right side, back or stomach while the tube and needle were in my left side.
    Don't be afraid of a thoracentesis. It's the least invasive option to treat pleural effusion. The doctor who did mine found the ideal placement for it. That plus the clot busting treatments successfully drained it.
