Is pain in armpit,chest and mid back symptoms of lung cancer?
Patient: I had acdf surgery to c5/6/7 in October. The pain is far worse than before I had it done. Pain is now under my armpit and in chest and misd back. Had facet joint injections in January but they haven't helped. Could this be a lung cancer. I keep reading about pancoast tumours and now I AM VERY WORRIED Doctor: I feel your symptoms are related to nerve compression related to your cervical spine.Are you suffering from cough, breathlessness, loss of appetite or a weight loss?? If you are worried about lung cancer then an Xray will answer your doubts.
