Have Breast Cancer, Cannot Use Left Arm. Had Radiation Treatment, Removed Lymph Node. Taking Steroids, Cancer Medicine
I have breast cancer. I had radiation treatment over two months ago. I am experiencing extreme pain (10) on my breast and back. I cannot use my left arm where they removed my lymph nodes. The pain is almost unbearable. I cannot wear a bra, any tight clothes, and everything hurts. Is this normal. The doctor has me on pain medicine, steriods, cancer medicine. It is progressively getting worse. What can help? Elaine

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I am sorry for your health condition, but no need to worry the pain is the most disturbing event in every cancer case but this will go away soon with the time, you will have to wait little more time for adaptation once the adaptation sets up then you wont feel more pain it is like double sword the surgical procedure and the radiotherapy but no need to worry every thing will be fine soon have great day.
