They performed a puncture on me and drained some fluid just for testing. Afterward, I was prescribed Medrol and sent to physical therapy to help clear the rest out naturally. Honestly, though, that hospital was a complete circus.
Two months ago, I was diagnosed with a pleural effusion caused by tuberculosis. I’ve searched everywhere online, but I can't find any clear information regarding this specific type of effusion. I was just discharged from the hospital two weeks ago, but they weren't able to perform a certain lung scan because it would have interfered with my physical therapy. Does anyone here have any insight on this? I would truly appreciate any help you can provide!
