a deep breathe, or cough, or lift anything heavy, or stretch. They're sore. It's

been getting sort of worse over the past week. I do not want to go back to the

doctor because I was just in about ten days ago and it's so darned expensive...

Joanne,   I had fluid that filled the pleural sac between the rib and lung on my

left side.  It was painful and I had hard time lifting things and was short of

breath.  The fluid was callasping the lung.  They tried to drain the fluid but

could only drain part of it and I was in hospital for surgery to drain the rest

of it.  Still not sure why it happened.   They called it idiaopathic (sp)

plueral effussion.    The rheumatologist didn't think it had anything to do with

the Methrotrexate I had been taking for 20 years.  Sharing this so you will

monitor your pain closely.  Hopefully it isn't what I had but you may want to

check with your dr sooner than your appt.
