I had my first Pleurisy attack when I was 5 years old. I remember my dad rushing me to the hospital because I writhing on the floor in pain. I've had bouts of this off and on thru out the years but luckily *knock on wood* I haven't had it in the past 10 years or so. I know this is extremely painful but as far as I know, this shouldn't interfer with your surgery. Here is a website that tells more about
it.
