I was told I had pleurisy by one endo (over the phone on a weekend), then my regular endo said, “That’s a terrible diagnosis! It doesn’t mean anything.” He ordered a chest x-ray and it was clear…end of conversation.
Now, tired of dealing with this nagging pain that spreads (it feels like the muscles between the ribs, but it’s hard to explain) around my chest area, I’m going to my regular doctor tomorrow about it.
My question: how did you get your diagnosis, Jake?
I’m tired of being poked and prodded, but I feel like I can’t ignore this any more. Taking Advil helps, but I was afraid I was hiding from something by ignoring it.
Thanks so much. Just hearing others have this makes me feel not as crazy:-)
