Try muscle gel, it really helps alot. QUOTE (Hemlok @ Dec 5 2007, 09:51 PM) Keep resting for another day, and then get professional advice. P.S: This seems to be happening alot on GMC.

When i got my wrist injury, my muscle gel really helped out alot. Excellent. The day after I started using muscle gel I felt a huge improvement, and the day after that the pain was gone. And about 4 days ago I stopped using it because I didnt have more left, and since then it has gotten worse, today it really sucked, but now I bought more and gonna see how it goes the next few days. It really does help, try it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

I'm a very relaxed player - I feel anyway, so I dont usually have that many problems but it seems lots of people find it easy to sustain guitar related injury which is quite worrying, so I'm going to be careful not to do the same for myself.

Seriously mate - see a doc as soon as possible as it can easily develop in to pneumonia or pleuresy - not good. I have a condition called alpha 1 ATD (inherited emphasema) and so know pretty well how easily bronchitis can flare in to something worse (not that bronchitis is nice though).

Cheers, Tony Actually Tony, I had to go to the Emergency Room for it 2 nights ago so I have already been seen. They told me that it was the early stage of Pneumonia, but its still Bronchitis at that point but now I feel worse so I think I have Pneumonia at this point. Yeah, I know what you mean by something becoming something worse by the way I am ALWAYS sick, last year I had to have 4 surgeries over the coarse of 2 months because I had infections in my tonsils and they could not take them out until they were healed, plus I have chronic ear infections and all these other problems.

I don't run to the doctor for everything, but that sounds like you had better. You don't want this turning into something that has you on your back for 6 months. If you have health insurance, go to the emergency room if necessary, or see your doctor. Otherwise see one of those health clinics. I have gone to those just because my deductible is so high, and the insurance company gives you a break (free last time) if you go to some of those places. I have no idea what you status is health insurance wise. Assuming you live in the US. If you are a student, the Universities often have facilities.

Well I'm 17 (18 on Dec 19th) So i'm still under my mothers insurance. I did go to the ER the other day because my doctor was not at his office then so the secretary called him and he told her to tell me to go to the ER and have chest x-rays. Thats how I found out what I have, but since the visit to the ER 2 nights ago, i've been feeling worse so I dont know if I should go back, perhaps i'll wait until tomorrow and see how I feel in the morning. Yes I do like in the U.S. by the way, I live in MA. Thanks for your support guys. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

(albeit I don't know how it works out in the US vis health insurance as fklaitch is rightly saying. Even so, as he says, still worth it as your health is more important.)
