Question: Is having pain in the lung typical of COPD?
Barry Make, M.D. -- Chronic lung pain is not commonly associated with COPD. However, pain can come from the wall of the chest and not directly from the lungs - this in fact can be seen in COPD. Pain in the chest can come from coughing very hard and straining the muscles of the chest. Pain in the chest can be due to a rib fracture from coughing hard. Pain in the back of the chest can come from osteoporosis, or thinning of the bones. Check with your doctor to find out the cause of your pain.

What sort of pain? Chest pain? COPD is a chronic disease and depression is common 2.5 times more common than the regular population. The best treatment is pulmonary rehabilitation but if cannot go to a program all they really do there is
endurance walking goal 30 minutes straight (work your way up)
Upper extremity exercises where you throw your arms around for 15 mints straight, punch in plance, do the sisors, winshield wipers, and more
some stretching and weight training
you could weight train in your home using detergent or canned goods.
Pulmonary rehabilitation decreases mortality, increases quality fo life and decreases depression. Go see a doctor about the pain and gget into a pulmonary rehab program or go once and do it at your house after that. COPD does not have to stop you from doing things you use to but you have to work harder now but you can do it. I work in a COPD research lab and see COPD people alll the time.

I have a pal who has COPD and takes Norco's they're Hydrocodone 10mgs with 325 mgs of aceteminophen!! For her COPD she does the Spiva! So a ways no issues and has been doing it for particularly a whilst!! Pain treatment does suppress the cough, it kind of feels that codeine or any of the narcotic discomfort meds presents this suppression, that's why such a lot perscribed cough syrups are combined with a narcotic discomfort med!! I need to consider the prior put up, ask a pharmacist and of path when you suppose you're now not getting sufficient care search out one more doctor!! incidentally what state are you in? I am in Texas, however am from Virginia and could also be ready to supply you a reputation of a Doc or Two!! Good day to you and your Dad!

Sufferers of chronic obstructive pulmonery disease do not usually complain of pain, other than that of coughing so regularly. It is usual to produce a large amount of sputum and with this comes the cough, whistling noise on inspiration and expiration and breathlessness on excessive movement. I have not known any aptients to complain of any other pain though.
