Lung pain with MAC

Posted by coder @coder, Sep 28, 2023

Did anyone who took or is currently taking the three antibiotic regimen have back (lung) pain? So far, that is the worse symptom I am having. Did not have it as bad til I started the meds. Just want to make sure this is normal.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I’ve had a lot of back or lung pain. Also a sensation of things moving. And chest pain where the cavity is.

I just had a sensation that I could feel where the cavity was when I would breathe. This was when it was combined with a severe pneumonia that I had gotten. I don't think what you're describing is uncommon though...

yes --- if I've been standing for a period of time, my upper back pain is bad.

I have been diagnosed with MAC in July 2023 and have only experienced fatigue. The big 3 are causing me more problems than the mac ---- I feel like I have the flu 6 out of 7 days.

I've had 4 bouts of rib and back pain over 5 years. One hard cough and a rib muscle can get strained, if it's close to the spine then the back hurts also
