Does anyone have upper back pain with MAC?

Posted by bbeers @bbeers, Mar 25 7:06am

I was diagnosed with MAC in Sept, '23. Have not started the BIG 3 . Had no symptoms and still do not have any cough and very little mucus. However this past January I started having pain in my upper back on the right side. Mac is in my right lung. Both my pulmo and ID Dr. don't think the pain is coming from MAC. It feels like someone pinching me really hard. Has anyone had pain in their back from MAC? Also, are airway clearance and nebulizing one in the same thing or two different procedures? Thank you so much.
