Pleurisy

[chris325ci]

Hi Doc,

I'm an air traffic controller and was told from my doc that I might have pleurisy that might have been caused by a rib fracture. Is this anything I should be concerned about with my job? He did say that it is very common.

Thanks

It is not a longterm problem but if you have had fractures you will need to be cleared by the FAA doc to go back to work.
