Since my radiation ( and light dose of chemo ) ended I have had sore upper arms and arm sockets. It hurts to reach out or to hold my arms up high. When I asked the doctors about this, both my oncologist and radiation onc. said that they have never heard of this as result of treatment.
It seems logical to me that having one's lower neck radiated could affect the shoulder joints.
Has anyone else experienced this?
