Hello, I’ve experienced much pain with MAC. Like a tight band around rids and severe back pain. Just a heaviness in my left lung in back now. Also, have felt things moving in my back. My ID Dr says pain isn’t a symptom of MAC but my primary care Dr knows patients that report pain

I've had the same 3 or 4 times due to rib sprains due to coughing. They last about 4 weeks.
Treat with heat pad and back brace. After the last bout, I bought a rib belt.

I get rib pain, it's something I have had for years, called Costochondritis. Mine gets irritated from coughing when I nebulize. Do you have Bronchiestasis? I'm sure other people on this blog will give their input...about this!
