Gina, last year in June i had the pleural effusion. They did the talc when they put the drainage tube in my left lung. I have had no fluid in my lung since then. It wasn't painful for me but I was sedated after having an anphylactic shock to zosyn. My left lung hurts some when I take a deep breath but doesn't usually bother me at all. This procedure is often very effective in eliminating pleural effusion. praying it will work for you also. pammie
