What Is The Treatment Of Muscle Pain In The Arms And Shoulders?

My husband has had chemotherapy for DLBCL and has now been in remission for 1.5 months. Is it normal that he is having a lot of muscle pain in shoulders and upper arms? It is waking him up at night. Pain level is between 4 and 6 out of 10. He is also seeing a physiotherapist to regain his muscle strength.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
Here if the muscle pain is due to his present medical history or treatment then it's difficult to cure completely. When I have patient like this I keep them. On frequent use of hot and cold pack. And will check with their doctor (oncologist) in a safe way is there any medication can be given. Apart from this he is already under physio so I am sure based on his current situation Physiotherapist will also be making him do some sort of muscle tonning, stretching and strengthening exercises. So continue with that. Take care.
