Hi Joann, Lungs do hurt at times if you have asthma. A technician who does the breathing test at the hospital told me that and he has asthma! Also have you been checked for scoliosis? I have it and it can cause pain most anywhere in the spine. Physical Therapy might help, it did for me and when my sessions were over, I continue to do the exercises at home. Wishing you a good day--baz
