Hi Lydia,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Flovent is a corticosteroid and helps in immune suppression and useful in allergies
2. Proventil is helpful in reducing bronchospasm.
3. At present, you do not have any bronchospasm or any allergic reactions. You symptoms are more structural than functional. Both would not be helpful in preventing pain in lung area. Upper back pain could be due to thoracic vertebral abnormalities. Muscle strengthening, posture training and NSAIDs painkillers like celecoxib will be helpful.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
