Re: just found out...
I have shoulder problems as well but mine is on the opposite side of my cancer occurence. I did not have radiation. Just like you though I did not have shoulder problems prior to bc last year. Mine apparently is not as bad as yours. My onc showed me some excercises to help strenghten that side (so definitely not a bone-to-bone situation on my side) i.e. I've lost range of motion on that side. I've wondered if the chemo has contributed to this myself.
