A member asked:

Good day, i have right side chest pain that's also moving to my back for almost a year now. xray showed inflammation on lung lining?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pulmonologist: Consult a pulmonologist to determine whether there is true inflammation present. The xray alone can't detect active inflammation for a certainty. It could be old inactive pleural thickening. If the pain is very sharp and fleeting, aggravated by a deep breath, it could emanate from pleural inflammation or from a pinched intercostal nerve or muscle.
