What Causes Musculoskeletal Pain In A Patient Diagnosed With Pneumonia?
My husband was examined because of onset of left chest wall pain after he had an adjustment for his back where he crossed his arms over his chest and there was compression against the chest. The pain started a couple hours after that and increased until he went to ER about 36 hours later. He was diagnosed with pneumonia. No cough, fever or recent respiratory illness. My husband has a lot of musculoskeletal pain from arthritis and strenuous life style. He is 63. Is it possible that there is more to this than pneumonia

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the disease being diagnosed after examined the imaging report then it may not be anything else, and if the emerging study not being done then it need to be get done till then it can not be said to pneumonia and could be something else, it may be allergic condition with some emotional stress, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
