How does old person shoulder ache return a responsibility

First: the most common symptom of scapulohumeral periarthritis is shoulder and arm pain. After 50 years old, patients with shoulder and arm pain are more likely to think of scapulohumeral periarthritis and neglect to find the cause from other aspects. But shoulder arm pain is not necessarily caused by scapulohumeral periarthritis. Because there are many factors inducing shoulder and arm pain, one of which is caused by lung cancer. If older patients do not pay attention to this, it may delay medical treatment and lead to adverse consequences.

Second: Generally speaking, if the elderly have sudden shoulder and arm pain or gradually aggravated shoulder and arm pain, accompanied by cough, blood sputum and other respiratory symptoms, and the treatment is ineffective, it is necessary to seriously look for lung cancer. It is reported that the incidence of lung cancer combined with shoulder and arm pain in the elderly is 7.2%, which is not too small, so it can not be ignored.

Third: the focus of lung cancer itself is easy to metastasize to the brain, bone, liver, adrenal gland and other parts. Many lung cancer patients are diagnosed because of discomfort in the above parts. For example, some patients with headache, walking instability, dizziness and sudden falls were sent to the hospital for brain CT, and found that there were multiple brain tumors, which were mostly "metastases", that is, metastases from other places. After further investigation, it was found that they were caused by lung tumor metastasis. There are also some patients because of unexplained low back pain, after medical treatment found that lung cancer occurred "bone metastasis" caused. This kind of situation is more common in clinic.
