A member asked:
Can you still have pain even though your pleurisy has been cured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Duration since cure?: Pain from pleurisy can persist in some situations if the underlying cause is a chronic inflammatory condition. Your question does not provide specifics like how long has it been since the treatment was completed, whether being "cured" is based on relief of symptoms or other tests, what condition caused the pleurisy etc. Please discuss it with your doctor who has been treating you.
