I've had it for over 30 years.Exertion and stress are two things that can aggrevate it.I've been on several pain meds(vicadin,percocet,ketorolac,morphine)but so far none have worked..See your doctor and follow his/her advice.

I had it, and it sucks, it feels like pneumonia. I stayed in bed for a few days and took 800mg IB profien tablets (prescription). I think thats all you can too, because it's just an inflammation. It's caused by overexhurtion or over activity, so best to lay low, and if you can think of what caused it, you might not want to do that for a while.
