People in their fifties do have a high incidence of scapulohumeral periarthritis; It's no surprise that a 34 year old white-collar worker is sitting in the office all day, and his posture is not correct. But not all shoulder pain, are so simple, its cause may be cancer. There was a young patient in his 30s who had been suffering from neck and shoulder pain. At first, he went to other hospitals. The film showed that he did have cervical spondylosis, but after a period of treatment, the effect was not good, so he came to see the special pain department.

Some lung cancer patients did not cough, shortness of breath and other discomfort, but more than back pain, after a number of tests found that the original "culprit" is lung cancer. Because the main characteristic of patients with advanced lung cancer is cancer cell metastasis, bone metastasis accounts for about 30% ~ 40%.

There is no obvious difference between the pain of bone and joint in middle-aged and old people and the pain of bone metastasis from lung cancer. Therefore, patients with long-term joint pain, including low back pain, shoulder pain and chest pain, should not bear it. They should go to the hospital as soon as possible to check whether it is bone metastasis caused by tumor.
