A member asked:
I was diagnosed with pleurisy almost 2 weeks ago and finished my steroids but still having a lot of pain!! what to do?! and why would it still hurt?!

Pleurisy: Either you still have the inflammation of pleurisy or something else is going on. Time to go back and be reevaluated. When you are treated and it doesn't get better either the diagnosis was incorrect or the disease didn't respond to the treatment.
