Well I finally found out what is causing my shoulder pain...after scans and xrays, I have been told that I have a frozen shoulder...seems this is common in women between 40-60 (just another benefir of old age), and even more common in women who have had a mastectomy with axilary dissection of the nodes....so cortisone in the shoulder, Bextra, which is the latest and greatest in anti-inflammatories, and 6 weeks of 3x a week physical therapy. The Ortho also told me that if it was bone cancer in the area, it would show up in the head of the humerus first, as that is where the main blood supply is....you learn something new everyday.
Hugs
Sheila
