Allergic Rhinitis or Lung Cancer ?!

I am an ex-smoker for 7 years and stopped smoking 3 years ago. I'll be 28 this coming january and I'm a filipino. Just last 15 days i did go see a doctor finally because i have so much back pain and rib pain because i got into a wrestling fight with my brother. I'm so scared that i may have lung cancer that's why i go see a doctor. I showed him my chest x-ray. He asks me if i have a mucus/phlegm and i said yes and tell him that i always clear my throat and spit mucus everyday for 5 years. The doctor can't believe that i did not even go see a doctor for once in 5 years. He checked my breathing and ask if i have pain in my chest and back and i said yes. He said my x-ray is normal and i have an ALLERGIC RHINITIS and the pain i suffer from fighting is just a muscle, bone pain. He told me to drink NORGESIC for back pain (which is very effective) and XYZAL, NASAL SPRAY for my allergy. After 15 days, i don't feel the pain in my back anymore and still drinking and using those medicines for my allergy until now. MY PROBLEM is that i'm not convince IN MY DOCTOR that i only have allergic rhinitis because i have this random pain sometimes in my back, back of head, chest, muscles in armpit. The pain is not that painful, it's like a needle pain or like someone presses it. I feel so tired and having shortness of breath sometimes. WHAT IS THE BEST SOLUTION TO THIS? Since a doctor won't let you CT scan unless it's emergency. I'm so scared.
