I thought it was from when I had my peg tube and would sleep on my side, causing a misalignment of my spin. I have the same symptoms as Oscar. On my back just below the base of my neck I have a numbing feeling and also at my lower back. I can really feel it when I look down. It never occurred to me that it could be related to the radiation.
