Muscle

Chicago, IL

Anyone has muscle pain ? I have muscle and bone pain between my breasts and between shoulder blades. I had stress test for my heart and it tested fine. Is it related to lungs. I don’t have shortness of breath and cough. But when I take deep breath it hurts more. My primary said most likely it’s muscle pain and prescribed meloxicam 15 mg . Should I see pulmonologist ? When I push my bone between
breasts it hurts more . Any advice from your exp. Thank you all

I would see another doctor and a specialist. Sounds more involved than muscles.

I would see a rheumatologist someone familiar with Lupus. Lupus can also affect your lungs and cause inflammation. My daughter had a PFT done to measure lung function. No problems found but her doctor says it should be done annually to monitor for problems.
