My mom has lung cancer, not sure what stage now since she has stopped going to oncologist. Probably Stage 3 by now. She has had persistent shoulder pain in the past month or two and headaches (which she never had before) practically daily. She is nauseous also but the Compazine the DR recently prescribed is helping. I read on a web site that shoulder pain is consistent with lung cancer since the tumor presses against a nerve that goes to the shoulder. So far Tylenol and aspirin has helped. Has anyone that has lung cancer or knows someone that has lung cancer experienced this? I was just wondering if it could be tied to the lung cancer.
Thanks,

I was diagnosed on January 5th with lung cancer. i am in the 3rd stage. shoulder pain and numbness were 2 of the symptons that sent me to the emergency room and after diagnosis i was told the same thing about tumor laying on certain nerves which cause this pain. i am currently on percocet and oxycotin. i am 48 yrs old.
