Suggest Treatment For Left-sided Swelling In The Chest Wall
Question: 4years ago found nodule on lower left lobe of left lung. Checked out months later doc found no growth. Last year found no growth. Now left side swollen.
No other symptoms that I'm aware of. I have an appointment scheduled for 8/14. If this related to the nodule it happened almost overnight. Is that likely?

I don't think this swelling is related to nodule.

You are having stable lung nodule.

Left sided chest wall swelling is mostly due to musculoskeletal cause.
No need to worry for lung nodule.

It's actually not the chest. It's lower but closer to my back. Maybe 6 to 8 inches above hip. Thanks a lot.
Brief Answer:
This is definitely not due to lung nodule.

Thanks for your follow up question,
I can understand your concern.
If it is on back then it is definitely not due to lung nodule.
So consult your doctor during the upcoming check-up and get done a clinical examination, X-ray or ultrasound examination of the local part to identify the cause.
