 The lung itself is not sensitive to pain. Please characterize your pain. Is it related to breathing? How would you best describe it? Do you have any other chest symptoms such as cough or shortness of breath? Do you cough blood? Do you have fever? How long ago did this start?

ANNE,
It looks like it could be pleurisy. Its an inflammation of the lining membrane of the lungs. The pain in this case is related to breathing, patients usually complain that they cannot take a deep breath because of the pain. Its very common nowadays and I have had to answer several posts today that concern pleurisy.
Please have it checked out to exclude any associated diseases and start appropriate therapy.
