Pain in Side - pluresy?

[Lealee]

I’ve been experiencing sharp, stabbing pain in the middle of my left side towards my back for about 10 days. If I lie on my side it’s constant. It comes when I yawn and take a full breathe and when I move certain ways and eases when I lean away to an ache. Could this be pluresy? I don’t want to waste my Drs time (or mine as a walk in app is usually 2 hr wait).

Luckily I have a high pain threshold but it’s affecting my sleep and I’m not so good with that 😊

sounds like pluresy as i get this as well. it's very painful indeed. Could be brought on with the dip in temperature? this effects me. Stay warm and rest up. if i over do things when bad i end up very unwell and in severe pain with this. defo see your doctor.

A lot of people in the office have been sick recently and I’ve been more breathless than usual. Would it be painful to touch if it’s pluresy?

[Para85 in reply to Lealee]

yes it can be when you push against the chest. well it is for me.

I’m having a lot of problems sleeping because when I lie down the pain is worse and constant. The earliest my GP can see me is on the 2nd of December!! So I’ll have to try for a walk in appointment.

Para85 you were right. Finally saw the dr this morning who made me see another dr! Started my antibiotics now.

Yes. It's pleurisy. I've had pain in the upper back, near my sholdour blaids. If it's there, then, definitely go to the doctors.
