What s going on with back pain in advanced lung cancer

Depending on the condition, back pain occurs only when there is bone metastasis or pleural metastasis in the lungs, and it is more likely that the back pain will metastasize to the back scapula in the advanced stage.

**Methods include:1Pain medications: anti-inflammatory drugs (nonsteroidals) and anesthetics, such as morphine, are commonly used to control pain from bone metastases.

2.Radiation**: the most commonly used** method, which can effectively reduce pain, prevent fractures, and reduce spinal cord compression caused by bone metastases. Radiation therapy provides significant pain relief for most people, and in some patients the pain is completely relieved.

3.Surgery: Surgery is mainly to fix bone metastases that have been fractured, or to prevent impending pathological fractures. Sometimes a surgeon is called in to deal with severe compression of the spinal cord.

4.Bisphosphonates: commonly used for osteoporosis and also used for bone metastases to prevent bone destruction.

A commonly used bisphosphonate for bone metastasis of lung cancer is zoledronic acid. Bisphosphonates are mainly given intravenously every 3-4 weeks. These drugs are relatively safe and, in rare cases, can cause osteonecrosis of the jaw and occasionally lead to renal impairment.

Looking for the root cause, just prescribe the right medicine, along with the pain, that is, in the middle and late stages, it is recommended to go to the hospital for timely treatment, and you can also take traditional Chinese medicine to solve it occasionally, "Persistence in Cancer" gives you more courage to face it positively.

It may be chest pain caused by coughing force, or it may be bone metastases. It is best to go to the hospital to find out what the cause is, and then treat the symptoms**.

Common Symptoms of Lung Cancer:

1. Hemoptysis: Half of lung cancer patients have this symptom. Smokers over the age of 40 have a high chance of lung cancer once they have blood, streaks or small blood clots in their sputum, which is also one of the early symptoms of lung cancer.

2. Cough: This is a relatively common symptom of lung cancer, and about 2 3 patients have this symptom. In patients with chronic long-term cough, lung cancer should be alerted if the nature of the cough changes, or if the cough becomes more frequent or has a nocturnal cough.

A constant, uncontrollable cough is one of the most painful symptoms of lung cancer.

3. Chest tightness and shortness of breath: In addition to atelectasis caused by tumor obstruction of the bronchial tubes and lung inflammation, which can cause chest tightness and shortness of breath, it is generally more obvious in the advanced stage of lung cancer, especially when there is a large amount of pleural effusion.

4. Fever: Most of the fever of lung cancer is caused by inflammation caused by obstruction of the bronchial lumen and poor drainage caused by cancer. In larger tumors, the inflammatory center is necrotic, often due to the absorption of toxins, resulting in a higher body temperature.

Lung cancer patients have no obvious inflammation in the body, but have obvious fever, which is often caused by the tumor itself, that is, the so-called "cancer fever", and the body temperature is often below 38.

If you feel any discomfort in your body, do so**.
