What does lung cancer shoulder ache symptom have

summary

Recently, a friend's father often has shoulder pain, but because he doesn't know what the reason is, he inquired about the relevant information on the Internet. He suspected that it was related to lung cancer, so he wanted to know what the symptoms of lung cancer are. Now let's popularize the science about the symptoms of shoulder pain of lung cancer.

What does lung cancer shoulder ache symptom have

First, Professor Zhou Caicun, director of Oncology Department of the municipal Pulmonary Hospital, explained that the incidence rate of lung cancer is about 35/10 million, of which the incidence rate of the lung upper groove cancer is about 2% to 5% of that in lung cancer. Clinically, many patients feel shoulder pain at first, so they go to the orthopedics and traumatology department to "pocket" for a while and then come back. It turns out that lung cancer is in advanced stage, and it also metastases to the shoulder, delaying the disease. According to experts, the misdiagnosis rate in this aspect is relatively high in foreign countries, especially when it is found that it is mostly late metastasis.

Second, the early symptoms of lung cancer mainly include cough, low fever, chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, hoarseness and blood sputum; the early extrapulmonary symptoms of lung cancer include emaciation and cachexia, swelling and pain of bone and joint, mainly involving tibia, fibula, ulna, radius and other bones and joints, and the end of fingers and toes is often expanded in clubbing shape. If the lung cancer metastasis oppresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve and causes hoarseness, the brain metastasis of lung cancer causes headache, vomiting, sudden coma, aphasia, hemiplegia and other neurological symptoms.

Third: the early symptoms of lung cancer do have shoulder pain, but there are many reasons leading to shoulder pain, which may be caused by neuropathy, myelopathy, muscle, joint, bone, fascia, ligament, tendon, bursa and other diseases. Shoulder pain can also be caused by inflammation, swelling, congestion or ischemia. However, if the elderly suddenly have shoulder and arm pain or gradually aggravated shoulder and arm pain, accompanied by respiratory symptoms, we should be alert whether it is lung cancer, because shoulder pain is one of the early symptoms of lung cancer.

matters needing attention

In a word, shoulder pain is indeed one of the symptoms of lung cancer. It is suggested that if patients find physical discomfort, they must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, so that they can receive regular treatment in time to avoid delaying the illness. After all, early treatment can achieve better therapeutic effect.
