i have severe pain in my back in the right lung area, what can cause such severe pain ?
I am male ,in my late sixties and have suffered from Asthma, for many years. Recently, for several months I have experienced severe sharp pain in my back in the area of my right lung. I cough up a thick yellow sputum and the pain is with me day and night. As a young man I worked with cement, asbestos and builders dust and did not wear a face mask. My breathing capacity is just below normal.
Achiles,
I am sorry it has taken so long for anyone to answer your question here. If you are still having the pain, I would strongly encourage you to see your doctor. Pain and thick yellow sputum are serious and should be evaluated. If possible, I would encourage you to see a respiratory specialist, called a pulmonologist. He/she can distinguish between the various respiratory conditions that might be causing your symptoms and help put together a treatment plan that is right for you.
To your health,
Kathi
