I developed pneumonia over and a half ago. I didn't even know it was pneumonia at first. I went to the doctor because my lung hurt. It hurt so bad to breath. I thought maybe I had pulled something. I hadn't been sick at all, nor showed any other illness. When I went to the doctor, they instructed me to get an x-ray. I did, and they told me from that that I had pneumonia. However, no medication would make it disappear, I had no other symptoms besides extreme pain in my lung, which wasn't non-stop but came and went. My lung was also inflammed is what they told me. But, they couldn't hear it when I was breathing, and did a lot of tests because they couldnt figure out the cause nor why it wouldnt go away. I was rushed to the emergency at one point because of an extremely high d-dimer level which they thought might be a blood clot. It ended up not being, after a CAT scan. Because the meds didn't work, I had to continue to get xrays. It didn't disappear until about 9 months later. Today, I can't really feel it much at all, but just a little little bit, I can still feel it. Right where it hurt before. Is this scar tissue? Is this something else I should be worried about? Is this something that will affect me later in life? I don't know what to do about it...should I go see the doctor again? Thanks for your help. I could really use it...
