What Does Pain In The Back, Chest And Shoulder Indicate?

Today I went to the doctor for back, chest and shoulder pain. He sent me to get x-ray and prescribed muscle relaxer. During the exam he asked me if I had ever had a blood clot or diagnosed with cancer. He has never asked me these questions during exam before. Are these questions from my doctor signs he thinks I may have cancer?
