Which parts of the body can lung cancer cause pain? Pay attention to these seven places

The pain caused by lung cancer is closely related to the location of lung cancer metastasis. In addition to the more common chest pain, there is also liver metastasis causing right upper abdominal pain; bone metastasis causing bone pain; thoracic vertebrae metastasis causing back pain; lumbar vertebrae metastasis causing waist pain; and brain metastasis causing headache pain.

In real life, we all know that lung cancer is a very harmful disease. It not only causes great damage to the patient's life and health, but also causes pain, which is also a huge harm. So, which parts of the body can lung cancer cause pain? Let's find out below!
Generally speaking, the area of ​​pain caused by lung cancer is often closely related to the metastasis of lung cancer or direct invasion, which leads to the involvement of certain organs.
1. Chest pain <br/>Generally speaking, the most common area of ​​pain caused by lung cancer is chest pain, that is, pain on both sides of the patient's chest wall. Sometimes, this pain even radiates to the patient's shoulders and back.
2. Pain in other parts of the body<br/>If lung cancer metastasizes to other parts of the body, it may induce pain in some corresponding metastatic sites.
① Pain in the right upper abdomen <br/>If lung cancer metastasizes to the liver, it will cause pain in the patient's right upper abdomen.
② Bone pain <br/>If lung cancer metastasizes to the bones, the patient will experience bone pain in the corresponding part of the body.
③Back pain <br/>If lung cancer metastasizes to the thoracic vertebrae, it will cause back pain.
④ Low back pain <br/>If lung cancer metastasizes to the lumbar spine, it will cause low back pain.
⑤ Headache <br/>If lung cancer causes brain metastasis, there may be head pain. At the same time, it may also induce some common adverse symptoms such as intracranial hypertension, such as nausea and vomiting.
It should be noted that if lung cancer has metastasized, the pain it causes must be treated symptomatically in a timely manner.
⑥ Brain pain <br/>If brain metastasis occurs, it can induce intracranial hypertension. Dehydration agents can be used to reduce intracranial pressure. In addition, local radiotherapy can be used to relieve pain for adverse symptoms such as brain metastasis. For patients with bone metastasis, some drugs that can effectively inhibit bone cell destruction can be used for treatment, and some drugs with strong analgesic effects can be used to relieve pain.
