Could Lung Pain After Biopsy Be Due To The Biopsy Needle Pinching The Nerve?

I had a lung biopsy in Dec 2013. Ever since then I have been having pain in that area and pain in my neck with a headache. I thought the headache might be from my sinuses but I don t think so. Is it possible that the biopsy needle might have pinched a nerve?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I must say that the pain that your are experiencing since the biopsy done so this might not be the pain due to the biopsy needle trauma because it does not last long that much time, this could be something else and this need to be clinically examined, take care and have a nice day,
I find this answer helpful
