    I'm sorry to hear you are having these problems.  How are you doing otherwise?  Fine, I hope!

    Before treatment, I used to

    Before treatment, I used to have shoulder pain but went away after I retired. Shoulder pain back after treatment, worse than before.  Neck pain started this year, with headaches.  Been seeing a chiropractor, not sure if related to radiation.

    Yes, I had joint issues in my shoulders after treatment. Had frozen shoulder in both but worse on the left. It was caused by the chemo. Physical therapy corrected the problem and nothing since.

    6 years free of cancer and no further joint problem except the hips are stiffer without regular stretching and exercise.

    Hope you are able to get some relief and answers!
