Cathy,

I am no expert, but my best guess is that the pain in your arm is related to the nodal removal. However, I wonder if you have discussed this with your onc? Left sided radiating arm pain can be a symptom of angina or infarction (blockage) in a coronary artery. You did not disclose your age, so just a thought.

The joint pain is likely from the Femara. It frequently catches up with us around the 6 month mark of usage. The best remedy for joint pain seems to be regular exercise which seems counter intuitive when the joints are aching. It does help, though, believe me.

I think taking supplements that work to decrease inflammation is helpful for the joint pain as well. Olive oil, Super EPA (fish oil), triple mushroom complex, and plum extract are a few that work to reduce inflammation in our bodies.

Hope this helps!
