I can’t say for sure if NET’s cause pain but from personal experience I will say yes. I don’t recall asking my oncologist about it directly although I have mentioned the pain at previous appointments. I have had a reoccurrence of my NET and this time it’s in my right lung. I have had an occasional dull pain in my lower right rib area.

I can say when I first was diagnosed with NET in my thymus a couple years ago the one thing that made me get checked out was a squeezing pain I had in that area. I waited months before I ever said anything as the pain would come and go sometimes being more intense than others. When I had the NET in my thymus it was a sharp squeezing pain. In my right lung it’s been more of a dull pain.
