Has anyone ever had pleurisy (inflammation of the lining of the lungs?) I started noticing a mild pain behind my left rib a couple days ago and last night it got really bad. I went to a 24 hour clinic and was diagnosed with pleurisy after they ruled out a pulmonary embolism.

I actually had it with both kids! It was so painful but eventually went away.
I thought I had it again with DD but it actually ended up being a kidney infection that time. Didn't you just have your LO? I would call your on to check just in case too!

@matador84: I had DD last week. Yikes, a kidney infection? Sounds painful! I'll give my OB a call.

I've never had it but my husband has. He said it's normally 2 or 3 days till he feels better, but he does take steroids for it. ( he's not breastfeeding.

My mom had it and it was very painful. I'm so sorry that you are feeling cruddy!

I had it last year and was in the walk in clinic on Christmas getting diagnosed. It honestly took a couple weeks to a month to feel better even with a vicodin prescription! I feel for you having a newborn, try to rest as much as you can and take advantage of all.the help you have! I think it took so long for me to feel better because I was still having to look after our toddler and deal with the holidays and his birthday party.
I hope you feel better soon!

Ouch! DH gets it fairly often because of his asthma but most recently he got Costochondritis. I hear they are pretty similar. DH had to get pain meds. For him, it was more painful on his left side because he is left handed and that's how he holds the babies.
Hope you feel better soon and the Tylenol helps!

@travellingbee: @bluestriped bee: thank you.
@petunia354: a month, and at Christmas?? That's terrible. I'm taking full advantage of my help. I haven't had to do anything today.
The Tylenol is really helping. I'm feeling much better tonight than I was this morning.
