Is it another SP

Hi I'm new to the forum. I had a SP in 2005 and then had about 11 more the result being that i eventually had a pleurodesis at the Papworth hospital it was done on my right lung and since then I've gone from strength to strength. During my SP's I had three xrays at different times in local hospitals and each time they missed the SP and said it was muscle strain.. All three times I eventually had CT scans and a proper diagnoses was done...luckily. Now for the last 3 weeks I have had a coughing virus and it's resulted in severe pain in my left lung.. It feels exactly like a SP but again I went to a local hospital and they can't see it on xray. So I'm just at home in bad pain... I don't know what to do. Shall I ride it out or shall I get in touch with my old surgeon ..I don't want to make a huge fuss...but im really worried. It has been 10 years now since my operation. I can't lay down without pain I can't use my right arm and it's that familiar stitch feeling in my chest...I'd really appreciate your advice ...thankyou
