Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there.

It is possible that the tumor could have metastasised and moved to your shoulder and arm bones. This needs to be ruled out by a thorough examination by an Orthopaedic surgeon and get required investigation like X-ray or Bone scan as necessary. Avoid lifting weights. Apply cold sponging for pain relief. You can take Tramadol + Paracetamol tablet combination for pain relief.
