Lung cancer?
I have been a smoker for 7 years. Recently , I have been experiencing Pain in right hand thumb, left elbow, left chest, back and waist. This pain is not regular, just flares up now and then. However, the thumb pain has been going on continuously for last 2 days. In addition, I have also been feeling nauseous ( feeling of vomiting sometimes). Could these be symptoms of lung cancer?
