Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Pleural effusion heal by producing pleural thickening.
So normal pleural layers become thick and rough.
So they cause friction during movements and this friction produce pain.
So no need to worry for this pain.
Do breathing exercises, apply warm water pad on affected areas and divert your mind from this pain.
With time, this pain will go away.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
