Hi Footieflames,Sorry to hear you’ve been poorly! I don’t know how long it takes to recover from plurisy but I guess you’ll need to take it gently for a while! I had pneumonia a few years back and it took about 8-12 weeks to feel properly better. Some people would say longer.

Hope you start getting your strength back soon.

Hi footieflames. I had pleurisy with pneumonia so it all blended in together. My pleurisy caused a lot of pain in my side so I had a pillow permanently attached where the pain was and it helped' also a hot water bottle. I took a very long time to recover as it was found that I had bronchiectasis. Wishing you well. Take the painkillers too. x Anita
