Hi Linn65,

I am sorry to hear this second phase isn't going well and I hope you start feeling better soon. Could it be the inflammation is pressing on nerves? I am no doctor but I know when I first was diagnosed I was so tense and stressed that I began feeling this horrible pain up my neck and shoulders that went all the way down my back, leg and even to my feet. It was horrible! My doc felt a huge knot in my neck that took a lot of time to go down but once it finally did the pain subsided. I know the X-Ray showed more than a strained muscle but wonder if it could be doing the same thing. So many nerves in that area. I think if they saw something suspicious like cancer they would have said or done something at that point.

Stay strong and although I know how hard it is, try and relax as much as possible. Surgery is tough on the body much less after chemo. Our bodies have been through so much.
I pray you begin feeling better soon.
