There are several ways in which lung cancer can cause back pain. The tumor alone may contribute to back pain by creating direct pressure on structures in the back. Cancer may also irritate nerves traveling through the chest or the lining of the lungs which can be interpreted by the brain as back pain.
When your lungs hurt, there are chances it might be simple rib muscles aching or there is a serious underlying condition like cancer. It is not exactly right to say âlungs hurtâ or âlung painâ since it is not possible for lungs to feel pain as they lack pain receptors.
