Grabbing Pain Around The Stomach, Had Lung Cancer, Finished Chemotherapy. What Is The Problem?
My fiance had lung cancer and finished with chemo . He is doing well with that but he has a pain in his torso area that originated in the neck and moves around his torso. He says it is like a grabbing pain. He says it is very painful. Can you help. He was in the hospital for 3 days and they couldn t find the problem. They thought it may be inflammation on his back.

It can be refered pain from lung cancer since it can irritate pleura and intercostal nerves. also it can be sign of stomach issue or back issue. he should see pain specialist to find the most appropriate medication therapy for him. Also,he should do frequent check up to rule out cancer recurence.If pain persists he should do spine mri and check stomach and pancreas.
Wish you good health. Regards.
