Brief Answer:
Could be inflamed tendon!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. I have reviewed your symptoms and information and this seems to be mechanically induced pains. Such pains often result from muscles and bones. In this case, it seem stop be related to an inflamed tendon. I will suggest that you take Ibuprofen for relief and report the progress to me.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Brief Answer:
Not the lungs!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Lung pains comes with breathing and not movement. Musculo-skeletal pain comes with movements.

I wish you well and keep me updated on the progress and evolution.
