I believe that it was Dr Aksamit who in his recent Q and A described this pain as pleural pain. The inflammation in our lungs impacts the pleural tissues that surround them and this can cause pain. Also, the rib cage can be impacted which can cause pain. I do not currently have this type of pain but I know many do.

Hello - I found your comment very helpful. Can you tell me how to find Dr. Aksamit's frecent q and a? Is that on the Mayo website? I will do a google search as well. Thanks, Donna

I would really like to listen to the Q & A from Dr.Aksamit on pleural pain as I am trying to differentiate my lung pain that is from bronchiectasis and MAC from other pain such as GERD, which I periodically take prilosec for flair ups. Please post the link as soon as you are aware of it. Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it! mtyler
