What are you like in bed. Can you sleep or is the pain there constantly. I think you should keep a diary so that you have an idea when the pain is there, when it stops and if you take something for the pain it helps. try to work out when it started. Perhaps its the end of an infection.

Before I became aware that several 'bothersome' issues were of a more serious concern, I used to experience a sensation that I could only describe as a feeling that my lungs were wet and felt heavy. Subsequently I received a diagnosis of bronchiecstasis. (This was found during the process of trying to determine why I was experiencing oxygen drops. Additionally, I have a small nodule, and I have minimal volume loss in the base of both lungs. Both of these issues are being observed for progression. Two years, no progression as of May1st...am scheduled for PET scan first of Nov.) J.

Madonna, I left a comment, something (maybe me) went awry, and it posted just below the other replies. Best of luck to you. Hoping you get a firm diagnosis soon. J
