Hi, I posted recently regarding a back pain I had in the right side of my back. I'm 23 yrs old and I don't smoke. I've been feeling a slight pain in my right back when I inhale deeply when I slouch forward a little bit. The pain is not really severe. It feels like the pain you feel in the bottom side of your lungs after playing intense basketball for a long time. It has been a month since I felt the pain and I still feel it. Can this still be just muscle pain? I'm really worried that its something else. I really doubt its a muscle pain. I feel it more at night. PLEASE HELP. I'm really scared.

it is mostly likely that it is muscle pain. Lung pain is typically stabbing and excruciatingly intense.

But if you're that scared going to see a doctor is never really a bad idea.
