Suggest Treatment For Pain In Shoulders, Back And Chest
My daughter has MS and went on a cruise came back and went to the hospital with pain in her shoulder, back and chest. She had fluid in both lungs. Was treated but doctors don t know what is causing it. After 10 days in hospital she was home 2 days and lungs started filling up with fluid. Fluid has been aspirated once again, and still don t know what s wrong. What can be happening to her?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, ideally aspirated fluids sent for analysis, this is rule, and in my opinion it is your right to ask for the diagnosis, or talk to the doctor, because if this is the case of pleural effusion then underlying cause of this need to be known some time this could be "Microbial infection" or could be some different pathology hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
