Hi Gina, I am having the same problems with my right arm, neck and shoulder, and as you say when you put your right arm over your shoulder my pain is there but I have also got muscle wastage and I cannot lift my right arm I have no strength in the lift motion. I have been to physio and she contacted my onc and he has asked for a MRI and I am waiting for the paper work, he told her he was thinking the big C, I hate to say the full word, but it has only escalated since I refractured my left shoulder and when my shoulders are strapped up with a figure 8 sling like wearing a backback, it seems to remove some of the pressure and I don't need as much pain relief, I am hoping that it is just nerve damage from my Trigiminal Neuralgia or Radiation but I wish I could find one doc who KNEW EVERYTHING!!!! I am so complicated and the first thing that comes to their mind is the dirty "C" word, I had an MRI in April of the head, neck and shoulder and no sign of anything, plus a bone scan which only showed up my wrecked shoulders, I am getting paranoid and keep looking to see if I am turning yellow and the other thing is if you have liver problems my dad always said your breath would be sweet smelling, so I am glad when my tactless daughter tells me my breath is off, I just say GOOD, give me a peppermint. So I too am in limbo until I have tests done and being so close to Xmas it will be hard to get and see anyone, I haven't been too worried because last Xmas I had all my tests done and I was NED over the holidays and in the second week of January, IT WAS BAAAACK! I am changing the name of my diseases, yes lumping them all together and naming it CANCERBETIES, the same family as diabeties and I will just have to keep treating the symptoms, interesting thing is I don't have diabeties YET?*!
Love & Hugs Lyn
