Why does lung cancer have back pain
summary
Lung cancer is a kind of malignant tumor, which can threaten the health and safety of patients. The incidence rate and mortality rate of lung cancer are increasing. Lung cancer also can cause devastating harm to patients. Yesterday, I went to the hospital to visit a friend. He said that he saw a lung cancer patient passed away. I'm so afraid. I'd like to share with you the common problem of why lung cancer patients have backache!
Why does lung cancer have back pain
First: lung cancer is a malignant tumor, which generally causes shoulder and back pain, which is caused by bone metastasis or pleural metastasis. This kind of pain is generally severe, unbearable and persistent, and has nothing to do with activity. Ordinary shoulder and back pain is generally aggravated when it is cold or after activity.
Second: there is no obvious difference in symptoms between shoulder and back pain caused by lung cancer and pain caused by other diseases. What's more, we need to make it clear in time. Don't be careless. Suggest you can go to the hospital to let the doctor check up, if highly suspected of lung cancer, can do a chest CT clear.
Third: chest and back pain caused by lung cancer is more severe, but lung cancer can not be diagnosed only by chest pain. It also has more typical manifestations, such as irritative cough, hemoptysis, auscultation, localized wheezing, emaciation and so on. Shoulder and back pain is also common in hepatobiliary diseases and heart diseases. We should go to the hospital for ECG, hepatobiliary B-ultrasound and other related examinations to make a preliminary diagnosis of the above diseases
