Arm neuropathy or lymphedema before surgery
Hi. I have what feels like nerve damage in my elbow but shoulder aches also and my hand get tingly and/or numb at times. Just in my right arm, cancer side. Anyone have full arm neuropathy from taxol? Or anyone have lymphedema painbefore surgery from cancer damaged lymph nodes?
My arm has had this issue on and off for a few years. My bone scan was clean. MO doesn't think it's anything to do with cancer. It got worse and more persistent half way through taxol which is why I'm asking.

Did you have other medical problems prior to cancer?
I have diabeties and so I already had some neuropothy prior to my cancer diagnosis. The chemo made it worse so I was unable to do taxol. I developed lymphedemia after my breast surgery.
You might want to get an opinon from a nurologist.
Hugs,
Annie
