Yes, or at least my doctor told me it was. I get some pain every now and then when I breathe. At first I thought I had another embolism, but when I got a chest x-ray there wasn't one. My doctor said it was just the scar tissue in my lung, and my lung attempting to repair itself. Everyone is different though, if you are worried about the pain go to your doctor and get a chest x-ray.
