Hi Bisso

So sorry you are suffering with pleurisy. I had it a couple of times. It is quite painful. Rest, fluids, hot water bottle on pain.

I found a good link for you:

mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

Take care xx

Hi, I can only sympathise as I've had it too. So very painful. It does take a while to clear, mine on occasion led to pneumonia. Have you been back to doc?

in reply to bisso

Yes good idea, see if he checks your chest again and ask for another xray if you don’t feel tops xx

hi bisso sorry to hear you have pleurisy - I used a hot water bottle and a pillow to put where the pain was most- I believe sun and heat can help too- years ago a doctor advised sun bed treatment but maybe not a good idea with the threat of cancer around sunbeds. It is very painful so rest and drink plenty of fluids. Hope you're feeling better soon. x
