Really feel for you. Have had pleurisy before and your experience sounds much like mine. Mine was diagnosed sooner than yours, but the pain was excruciating. This was a number of years ago and there was little that could be done for it to help take the pain away. I think I was given an inhaler and that really didn't do a whole lot. Anyway, it too a couple of weeks to start clearing up and then the pain subsided rather quickly. If it is pleurisy, or something else, I wish you the best. It was pleurisy that stopped my smoking habit back when. Ha, was trying to smoke with ht horrid lung pain. Relized it was a stupid thing to do. Again, wishing you a good diagnosis and speedy recovery. .
