I sure hope there's someone here who can help me out please!! Today made 4 weeks that i've been quit smoking now and I went to the Dr. A month ago because of what he called acute bronchitis but I don't think that's what it was from what i've read he did a chest x-ray and said everything looked normal. I forgot to mention that I smoked 26 yrs. And that i'm now 41 yrs. Old. I've been having occasional dull pains in my chest right below my rib cage, and in my shoulder blade down to right below my rib cage on my left side it is accompanied by numbness which is there almost all the time. Don't think i've hurt it in any physical way but i'm not sure. So my question is there anyone hear thats had them symptoms before not caused by some type of injury. Does this sound like it might be cancer sure hope not. I don't have any shortness of breath, and i'm not doing alot of coughing as a matter of fact I hardly ever cough since I quit smoking. Any help here would be very greatly appreciated.
