I have had a left middle back ache for 4 months and keep thinking it's my lung. It's there every day and my left shoulder hurts too. I had my bloods done twice and oxygen levels checked and tapped and listened to and all ok. If it was muscular why now am i feeling chesty and bringing loads of green phlegm up every day too. I am trying to be rational but i can't stop worrying it's my lung.

Can you go back to doctors, again,

and tell them your update?

It is rational to be concerned about your body, when it has a problem,

and is either , remaining the same , or worse, after 4 months.


Were you having the poor color phlegm, the last time you were checked?

Either way, I would go back,
and tell them you are not getting better.


You deserve more answers. I understand why it would worry you.
That makes sense.

And worry is so very difficult, added to the symptoms.

Let us know how you are.
