question: hello my name is william and i have been stricken with chest pain all year round due to reoccurring Pneumothorax (Collapsed Lung). i suffer with the pain but the pneumothorax doesnt show itself on any xrays and such most of the time. it shows itself every 5-7 months. first time was back on 4/20/09 but the pain first started in December of 08 and i am still suffering. the doctors tell me it will blow over but two years going on three i dont know. i was just wondering if any doctors had some input, had the same issue themselves, or had/has a patient dealing with the same thing. And yes im a skinny teenager. i have seen lots of specialist and no one has answer or some theory for me to go on they ruled out athsma, a bad fall and many other thoeries thats why im here.
