Pleurisy.

Concerned, I have had a bad cough for 2 weeks, pain in my back which goes from one lung to the other,went to Dr he gave me antibiotics. Got of a flight tonight and could barely walk. Had an xray a few weeks ago came back with with what Dr said was an infection, Dr never said what it was, Im assuming its pleurisy , can anyone advise please?

I really wish I could advise you Harley, but I feel the same as you I never get to the bottom

Of what is wrong and I never seem to feel a whole lot better either, but I'm really preying that you get the help you need, best wishes Maureen xx

I would advise you to go back to your doctor , have you finished the antibiotics? You may need another course .

Sorry that you feel so poorly and hope you get the infection under control soon.

Yes I have had 2 lots of antibiotics, going back to Dr in the morning.

Sorry but i agree you realy do need to go back to your gp you may need a diferent kind of antibiotic. But i think the longer you leave it the worse it may get.

I think if you had pleurisy you'd know about it. See your GP.
