Posted on Fri, 18 Sep 2015
Question: Sir
I have in my sholder and when i bend my neck its there. It radiates till my both hand abd on both side of chest. I dont have caugh. My fear will it be a lung cancer. Pain mean a uncomfortability. No other symptoms like wease and other. Fear makes me more. Will there be lung cancer without symptoms only pain in sholder. I went to a pulmonolagist 10 days back he checked with steth and said my lungs are clear and no need to worry. He dint order for x ray. When i bend my neck back and front pain in neck is there.

Brief Answer:
Possibility of cervical spine problem is there.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for lung cancer.
Your symptoms are associated with neck movements.
So this is more suggestive of cervical spine pathology.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and x ray of cervical spine.
You may also need MRI of cervical spine.
Lung cancer is less likely in your case because cough is first symptom of lung cancer. When cancer grows, pain starts. But at early stages, lung cancer can not cause pain.
So possibility of cervical spine pathology is more and for this consult orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Please let me know if you are smoker.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry for lung cancer.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Honestly speaking, no need to worry for lung cancer.
You are non smoker, having age less than 50 years, not having cough, so no need to worry for lung cancer.
But in rare case, asymptomatic people can have lung cancer.
And so better to get done chest x ray.
May I ask you why you are so much tensed about lung cancer?
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
