No one here is medically qualified, so we won’t be able to diagnose you, but I think we’d need a bit more information to give you any of our advice or experience in any event, like what’s happened and what symptoms you have?

I had a pain in cheat last Friday night. It got worse all night when I were Breathing. The pain went up my back and into my shoulder. Also on Saturday morning the pain were Undescribable. The more I cough the worse the pain. I had some Naproxen and this Easy the pain. I left it till yesterday to see the doctor because the pain got really bad. They put me on some more naxproxen. They did Mention Pleurisy but did not say yes or no. Told me to come back if it gets Worse.

Many thanks for your reply.

Where do you hurt, Tetleyboy, and when does it hurt - like all the time, or when you breathe in, or sometime else?

Oh, that sounds really sore. I can see why it may be pleurisy. Others have posted here about how curling around a hot water bottle or wheatbag can help. Look up other posts about pleurisy on here and you should find some tips about how to ease the pain a bit. All the best.
