I have prescribed medication for pleurisy and now i am stiffer and weaker than normal and i am not sure if it is the medication or the pleurisy

Pleurisy: I am skeptical of a diagnosis of primary pleurisy as, in my experience, pleurisy is usually a component of pneumonia or part of an autoimmune disorder. I recommend a second opinion regarding your diagnosis and treatment.
