Pleurisy
I thought I had cracked my ribs after a bad cough and viral infection but I went to my doc a couple of days ago and he said I have torn chest muscles and pleurisy from the bug. He said my breathing sounds clear but the pain I was having sounded like pleurisy. I've been given strong antiinflammatories.
I've taken 3 so far and the pain is better but I still feel so crap. So tired no matter how much I sleep (that's if I can even get to sleep, mind you), so anxious but that's me in general and just feel so washed out.
Have any of you had pleurisy before? How long did it take for you to feel back to normal? I haven't felt right since I had that bug a month ago.
