What Does Pain In The Upper Arms After Chemotherapy Indicate?
Hello and thank you. I completed 6 cycles of in-patient chemotherapy in October 2017. Thankfully ther side effects were very negligible.Prior to the in-patient treatment I received 5 outpatient chemo sessions and 8.5 weeks of radiation therapy (to abdomen and pelvis). Currently I am in remission (thank God and the wonderful team that cared for me), but I am having soreness and pain in my upper arms (the left more than the right). In 2016 I had repair of my rotator cuff and bicep. Is there any possibility that the pain could be related to the radiation?
