What Could Cause Pain Below The Right Breast & That Goes To The Back?
Hi, my problem is, I have pain below my right breast that goes to my back, I had bronchitis last winter with 2 anti-biotic prescriptions. The pain is still there. When I sneeze I have to hold my side because the pain is bad. I had a scan test done and today my doctor gave me an appointment to see a specialist and needs to have another test done, they will insert a tube that will go down to my lungs with a light and camera. Doctor, what is wrong with me ?

hi thanks for your query.
the doctors want to know if the bronchitis infection of yours has gone lower into the lungs forming an abcess.
this condition can cause painful cough.
this investigation is called as bronchoscopy.
it can reliably diagnose chest and lung infections.
the pain isnt related to your breast.
consult your doctor in case of further queries.
thank you
