Never shows so I just assumed it was the antibiotics . U are likley right it is just a fab slide test not a long growing. I never have much flem especially if I am on antibiotics . Never had a bronchoscope since the time when they first found it.
The ct shows it. It feels like a knot. Not sharp pain just there. Maybe it’s in my head.

Hi there. Regarding your “just there” pain is it in your back? Does it go away?

Pretty sure what you are feeling is not the spot or nodule in your lung. These are very small and contained deep in the lung tissue. Perhaps something is going on with the muscles in your chest wall that you feel. If I were in your shoes I would ask for a sputum culture or bronchoscopy before taking more antibiotics. Have you considered that?
