Does anyone experience aching bone pain all the way down their arm? (on the same side as their affected lung with BX)

    Hi, yes I do to. Went to see the doctor about it but he can't see the two related but I do. I also get a dull intermittent lung ache, probably plural pain, but the two go hand in hand. I'm seeing my specialist in March and I'm going to ask him if he's heard of this before. The doctor has prescribed me pain killers but if it's a long term pain I'm reluctant to take them all the time. On a more positive note I've started taking azithromycin three days a week as I was getting five infections a year and I do generally feel a lot better than before. My general health is improving. It's just this aching arm pain and around the ribs that's annoying.

      Thank you for sharing Lucy.  Now I know I'm not crazy.  It's strange but I just had that one multi day episode. I hope it never comes back! By the same token, now my other lung hurts as well. sad

      I hope your days are spent more well than not. May 2018 bring us all more energy and longer periods of wellness.
