Probably plureric pain. Inflammation of the lung lining. You just need good passim killers with anti inflammatory tablets. Talk to gp or specialist

Good luck

Hi Jojo

Yes, I get the pain in my back before getting it in my chest. To me, that's a sign that I have another infection. I do, however, bring up a long of phlegm. Unfortunately, it is something that part of the condition. Have you tried inhaling steam as I find it really eases the conditions. I also use a salt pipe which I am convinced helps to keep my chest clear.

I get that too, the pain is worse when I take a deep breath. I have also thought it is plurisy, it comes and goes. I am using the flutter device daily and it always brings up something. It is yellowish, sometimes thick sometimes milky. Seems to help as I don't get all that gurgleing in my lungs. Don't give up trying new things to help.

I get a pain (discomfort) in the left middle of my back when I have a lot of congestion.  My left lung gets mucus plugs that puts pressure on the airways and causes pain. Usually antibiotics and sometimes a bronchoscopy (the dr goes in the lungs with a tube to suckion the mucus out) will take care of it.

Thanks for replying yes iv had this done before not nice mine is in right lung middle lobe. Bring it up was easy before when I have a infection and no pain but this time I try so hard to clear it and they think iv hurt my back but I feel it's somethink more. Iv been taking antibodies for week now but no better. I think gp think I'm just making a fuss.
