You guys have me interested, so I just emailed my rad. onc. to ask what type of radiation I had. It certainly does not seem like it was pinpointed since it affected my esophagus.
Has anyone besides me experienced pain in their arm sockets/rotator cuffs? It hurts when I reach out with my right arm or even when I use it to wash under my left arm. All of the doctors that I ask say that they have never heard of this pain as a side effect of radiation, but I certainly did not have it before treatment.
