Bronchiectasis and MAC Pain

[shirley29485]

I have started having joint pain from the MAC and not sure what I can take for it. I am sensitive to medication and currently take no meds for pain. I also started having pain in my right lung that drops me to me knees...anything I can do?

Sounds as though you've got pleurisy in the lung. Very very painful. See your doc asap.

Can't help re Mac but I take Devils Claw for joint pain. Google it to see if it could be for you. Good luck. P

What is MAC

hi shirley

i too have bronchiectasis and suffer with pain in my right lung

i agree with you that the pain can take you to your knees

as i have suffered with this for two years now

i have been visiting a chronic pain clinic for a while now but nothing

they have prescibed seems to have helped me

i had an appointment with an immunologist this week as i have very low immunodeficiency

so i am hopeing he can come up with a solution for me

i will let you know if he comes up with a miracle cure

i dont know what mac is maybe you can elaborate a bit more on that

and possably someone here can help, they are a pretty well informed bunch and will offer advice if they can.

take care x
