A member asked:

Can enlarged lymph nodes in chest and lung nodules cause chest and back pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Many young people have enlarged nodes visible on x-ray and unless they are so big that they suggest serious pathology, we never look for the cause. Look for some other explanation for your chest and back pain.
