Eileen, my right arm does hurt, I am a month out of surgery, and my right lower teeth and gums hurt and I havent even started going through radiation yet. No one has contacted me about physical therapy, and I wish they would, because now it hurts all the time, not just when i lift it above my head, unless I take my pain meds, which I don't like taking, they make me feel bogged down, frown. But I am being treated at the U of M fairview medical center university campus in minneapolis, MN.
My second run in the hospital was a lot better then the first.
