My daughter has been diagnosed with pleurisy. She is 17 and her first outbreak was last year when she had an upper respiratory virus and tore a pectoral minor muscle while playing a soccer game. She has asthma. She was first diagnosed with condocondritis and was later changed to pleurisy. She has now had an outbreak on 4 occasions. Each time was explainable as she had the flu, another upper resp. virus and crutches which irritated it. We can t seem to make it go awaay for good. Do you have any recommendations? We have tried physical therapy, talked with her sports medicine dr, pulmonogist, and primary dr. Steriods and anti-inflammatory nsaids help but arent a healthy long term plan.
