Hi its nice to meet U I was diagniosed with Pleurisy tomorrow will be 2 weeks since ive had it . I have gone to my doctor yesterday morning he gave me a chest ex ray and it was normal but since ive been sick with pleurisy ive been doing research and it said if U only have Pleurisy the chest x ray will be normal . Is that true? im in a lot of pain its so unbearable my doctor told me that its viral and that it has to run its course and that it could last 10 to 15 days is this true doctor. I tried using my nebulizer but it didn't help the pain is still there can it last longer than 15 days ? its worst at night I cant lay on my back just on my sides to sleep its hard to sleep and my chest hurt when my doctor lightly pressed on it too yesterday its that natural with Pleurisy too ? thank U my name is Nicole R Freeman email : YYYY@YYYY
