Lung pain ?

[Keep-positive]

I've suffered from bronchiectasis since childhood. My consultant told me the lungs have very few pain receptors but I, very frequently have pain at the back of my right lung .

It's not the same as the pleuritic pain I get , this is a persistent throbbing pain at the "back" of my lung .

Has anyone else experienced this

Thank you Patk1 , I thought I was maybe being a hypochondriac 😬😀

I thought this group had finished up when I didn't hear from anyone , that's good it's still up and running 👍🏽

Sometimes replies are more forthcoming on the lung conditions forum x

i do get it when i have a chesty cough and when I go to sleep without clearance. What is the weather like? Cold might be a trigger. Try nebulizing with saline or inhale steam it might help. Otherwise consulting your doctor is always good.

Thankyou sunshine 🌞 I think as PatK1 said, it's probably mucus plugs . There are times when, despite using the Aerobika , physio, postral drainage, nebulising saline, and Acepiro drinks, you just can't shift of the gunk .

Every time I mention it to my consultant, she tells me the lungs don't have pain receptors , I feel as if I'm lying .

Thank you everyone !

I'm in the UK and the weather is getting cold 🥶 , keep warm everyone & take care
