Got pneumonia- saw doctor, on meds, getting better. coughed-now have sharp pains when i cough under bottom rib-under elbow if arms are hanging down?

Strain: Sounds like a strain from cough rather than pleurisy. This should improve with time a d may use ibuprofen for comfort and inflammation. I hope you continue to improve and feel well.
