slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on 06-26-2007. Stabbing pain in lung For about 4 months ive been getting stabbing pains in one of my lungs (usually the left one) when i take a deep breath in but usually only for abgout 2 breaths. Well for the past 2 weeks me and 2 of my mates have been smoking about a quater a day withought fail. Tonight i got the stabbing pain pretty bad but didnt mind as i expected it to go away shortly, however 3 hours later everytime i take a big breath in i get a really sharp stabbing pain :( I dont know what it is or if it has anything Rating: 5

It's been going on for 4 months? Sounds more like you broke or cracked a rib or pulled a muscle. Rib injuries can take a long time to heal and pleurisy is usually caused by an infection. If you have been walking around with an infection or pleurisy for 4 months somethings not right.

Any other symptoms?

only when you smoke? or during any deep breath?

may not explain but may explain ephesyma perfectly.. infact, i don't think you can actually get rid of it once you have it, which i'm pretty damn sure i have... i just don't care anymore... (even tho i'm overly sad tonight =/ everything has seemed to of hit me at once, it's in another thread) i just don't care anymore... it's not usually lethal anyways... you just basicly have ot stop being active, and if you really want the pains to go away, stop smoking...

happens to me sometimes. smoking definitly has something to do with it cuz its usually when ive smoked alot. sharp stabbing pains when i breathe in or even out. i think its common

His symptoms really aren't explained by emphysema. Shortness of breath is the classic symptom as well as increased breathing rate, fatigue, and cough. It is caused by inflammation leading to decreased elasticity of the air sacs in the lungs. It is one of the top 10 causes of death in the U.S. It is usually caused by smoking cigarettes (imagine that) and this guy seems too young to have it. Sharp pain just really isn't one of the signs of ephysema.


I want to hear back from the OP!

Sounds to me like a rib might be out of place. Which is probably why a bong hit fixed it. I've had it happen to be before, and I usually just take big deep breaths expanding my rib cage and it usually helps. Sometimes you can even feel it pop back into place.

Fucking rite Job done thanks to cannabis..

As the wise Homer once said.....Yes

Yes i cannabis

[Piff Smoker]

it doesnt have nothin to do with smokin i get the same pains to its kinda different than most the people are makin it sound except lil josh and gunner they both got it on the money its hard to describe just feels like its a pinch in ur lung for bout 4-5 breaths than it starts to fade out...but them 4-5 breaths it hurts like a bitch

Almost definately pleurisy because when you say when you inhale it hurts so the membrane surrounding the lungs (pleura) is rubbing together.
I have chronic pleurisy... Goto the doc, he'll most likely put you on some cortosteroids or NSAIDs, or maybe even give you some painkillers.
Is it accompanied by a painful dry cough? It could be bronchitis....sounds most definately like pleurisy though...
the cannabis smoke expands the pleura were tobacco smoke shrinks the aveolie of the lungs... so this could explain why most cannabis smokers tend to have pleurisy more...

Believe me if our smoking tobacco LAY OFF IT.. cannabis does the exact opposite. It makes your lung much better.. I think the stronger the weed the more i can feel whats going on inside.. Yes humans have grown alongside tabaco but the doesnt mean its safe. People who only smoke tobacco are fucked..

tobacco is a killer bred by the leaders..
