Hi BP, pain around the shoulders and back is very common with people who have chronic lung conditions. Maybe it's the stress caused by coughing, over breathing etc, or an inflammation of the intercostal muscles. I have very severe Bronchiectasis with a lot of exacerbations and infections and I almost always have either muscular pain or pleuritic pain. Stretching exercises help a lot and a hot water bottle or a heat pad gives a lot of relief. Try and make sure your bed is as comfortable as possible and the pillows arranged so that they support your upper body. I hope you get some relief soon.
