I have emphysema because of a genetic problem (lifelong non-smoker) and I think I'm really lucky because my new chest physician believes how much it hurts and prescribes codeine for me. I have had a few problems with GPs about this in the past. If you add this to the odd NSAID (don't forget PPI to protect your stomach) it subdues the pain a lot. Good luck! Ginny
