Now what?

Hello friends!

I know its been a while since I've posted. Been busy for the holiday season. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year!!!

OK, so about a month ago I noticed pain (very much like a side ache) on my left side rib (lower rib... feels exactly like a side ache) when I was jogging. It would hurt so bad I'd have to slow or stop my jog. I thought I just had a side ache.

It continued happening nearly every time I'd start running and breathing hard. So, I'd have to stop or slow down and walk.

Now, these past few days, I've had the pain intermitently throughout the day! Like even when I'm just sitting around. Sometimes it happens when I'm not expecting it and just is a dull pain. Other times, I can sorta make the pain happen when I take a deep breath in (it happens on inhalation).

Its very strange, but almost feels like a side ache coming and going all day.

Its not severe pain where I have to take anything, but its annoying and makes me worried to workout cause I KNOW it will happen the instant I do something strenuous.

Any ideas what this could be? Its very annoying and seems to be getting more and more frequent.

(oh, and I do have a doc appt. with a general practitioner on base next week, so i will get it checked out, but until then, just curious if anyone else has had this???)

thanks!!

Oh, one more thing... I've been feeling really quite good lately! Since coming off IVs a month and a half ago, I've had very little productive cough, even when I do vest and h.s. I'm actually amazed i've not had much cough for so long, as usually I'm back to the gunky cough within a week or two after IV meds. Hmmmm.....
