Symptoms of lung cancer may include:

Chest, shoulder, or back pain that does not go away and often gets worse with deep breathing!.

Lung cancer may spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body!. The most common sites are the bones, the brain, the liver, the other lung, the lining of the heart (pericardium), and the adrenal glands!. When lung cancer spreads, other symptoms may also occur!.

I don't think it is cancer, however you should stop smoking, you can get trouble with your lungs!. If you stop smoking now, you'll feel much better and enjoy life much more!. Another point to stop smoking is all the money you'll save!. I am in Europe and the average price of one package of cigarettes is about 5 euros - if you smoke one package a day, you spend about 1,821!.- euros a year (about 2,840!.- US dollars) - think what you can do with this money if you save it (holidays, a new computer, etc!.!.!.)
Good luck to you and enjoy the money you'll save by stopping to smoke :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

This sounds freakishly exactly like what happened to me when i was 17 and had been smoking for only 3 years my lungs were riddled with tiny little tumours that tear at the walls of your lungs when you breathe giving a burning feeling doctors had to remove the bottom half of my right lung and scrape off all the tumurs now im stuck in bed because my lungs dont feed my body enough oxygen i wish i was dead so ifi wereyou id get to your doctor dont waste any time believe me i wish i had done something sooner but its too late for me but hopefully you can get it in time good luck mateWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I can pretty much gaurantee that it's not "growing pains"!. If you're asking this, you know somthing is not right!. Like the other people said, go see your doctor and tell him what's going on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not convinced it's lung cancer, but I'm sure the smoking sure doesn't help matters!. I'd get it checked out, and meanwhile, I'd try and stop smoking!. I've never had growing pains like this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

too young to be burning yourself!.!.!. Best way to have your self examined and do some cleansing or detoxification!.!.and stop smoking!. This way, you will be freed from worry!. Just enjoy being a teenWww@Answer-Health@Com
