Almost to two years post treatment, and have the usual neck fibrosis from radiation, and shoulder pain and limitation from neck dissection. However, I also notice that I have increasing muscle pain and stiffness in back and legs after exercising or doing work.

I can do just about anything I did before treatment, except that things requiring arms to be shoulder level or higher for extended period causes a fair amount of discomfort. My golf game is actually better than it was, and I still care for the yard, etc. etc. -- I just pay for it more the next day. And this is more significant and constant than just growing older. ;-)

Anybody else experience anything similar?
