well.we finally came to a conclusion of what was causing the pain and numness in my shoulders and arms. I have radiation induced brachial plexis neuropathy.Not uncommon for nech cancer paitents to get, maybe 15% will. I did have 40 days of radiation over a wide field, from my nose to around my collar bone, So I am taking gabapentin 3x per day, It seems to help. Does not stop the pain completly but at least I am not taking percocet every day any more!

so I do get ticked off at some of these side effects. but at least I have a live body to have the efffects on!

so I march on!!
Best to every one here!!!
