Oh my. I've had disc surgery on lower back and I have bone spurs on my cervical spine area. Lost the use of my right arm once due to swelling in cervical spine area, which pressed on nerves. So I know that these areas can be troublesome, aside from the cancer.

Maybe it's a broken arm, or maybe there's some swelling in the disks that's causing the arm trouble. Makes sense to send you to the orthopedist. I have a cervical collar that I bought at the drugstore. I wear it at home when my arm bothers me and i feel my neck needs support.

It stinks that once we have cancer, other things go wrong. When we have to fight cancer, I think we should get a free pass on things like back aches, broken bones, rashes and indigestion. Darn, it doesn't work that way.

Hope the cancer is behaving and the orthepedist can fix this trouble.
