question: I dont have a final diagnosis yet.  I thought I was having rib problems, but when  they took xrays, my rib was fine and I appear to have swollen nodules on my left lung.  I have pain on the left side of my chest.  It started with a burning pain just under my left breast.  My left side is swollen from under my left breast around to to left side of my back.  I have the burning pain almost all the time and sharp stabbing pains occasionally.  They are going to do a cat scan, but I admit to being scared.  My step-father died of lung and liver cancer and it wasnt pretty.  It takes two vicodan at night to sleep.
