Really worried about shoulder pain

Hi

I just joined this forum after worrying for weeks with shoulder pain.

To start at beginning I was experiencing coughing up blood, breathlessness and fatigue with pain also weight loss..for quite sometime..eventually my doctor sent me for chest xray..then got sent for ct didnt hear back..called surgery..told I had lesion on lung at top of lung near spine..had referral to lung clinic..had ct with dye..told left lung deflated and mass at bottom of lung?...so thats confusing..doc said cant say if lung cancer or not..so will need another ct in few months to monitor nodule..which is walnut sized..i never smoked...but have asbestos in my home..some of which has been removed whilst i was in house (I have health probs) so couldnt leave house..

Now I have had pain in my left shoulder/blade for a few weeks now..also arm pain and weakness...and overall backpain..aches..I am getting worried as it is quite painful and disturbs me at night and is painful without using it..

Getting an appt with gp takes weeks...months and I'm in pain and getting worried the pains related to possible lung cancer...also noticed little lumps on my ribs...

Please can anyone tell me if theyve had similar experiences and what the outcome was...I woyld appreciate any advice info from nurses or anyobe with similar symptoms..

  • Hi Andrea,

    Thanks for your reply. I've been unwell, just couldn't muster the energy to do much. In between trying to get a doctors appt, manage my pain and life in general.

    The pain in my shoulder/blade spine neck has been relentless. Saw my doctor today and been told its to do with nerves on spine and in the blade so more pain relief.

    Yes I'm having another ct (3months follow up) I'm trying not to worry but its difficult not knowing. I've been experiencing blood in stools...again...just leaves me so drained.

    I shall just wait for ct and results.

    How are you?
