I am female and age 52. 15 years ago I had ARDS after acute pancreatitis and almost died. I had a recent chest Xray and was told I have Costal Chrondritis, explaining my side back and chest pain. However the radiologist also stated "stable scattered post inflammatory residuals" in lung. This is the very first time since my ARDS that anyone has noticed anything, stable or not, in my lungs. Do you think I need to be concerned about it?
