Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 212 | Well a couple of weeks ago I was so glad to say I was two years and clear of cancer. What i did not mention was that I am having serious pain in my arms. I saw a neurologists to day and he is fairly sure something is squeezing a nerve in my neck. Normally, he would think it was a disk problem but as a cancer person he said that it it not uncommon for the scar tissue in my neck from the radiation to be root of the problem. I thought I have read posts here that after two years of so this problem comes up.
Any info you have would be great!
Hey, at the least I can say cancer is not causing the pain!!!!!!
Thanks
