    Time to Have It Checked

    What have the doctors been telling you?  If you have shoulder pain and chest pain for two years, it is time to have it checked out, eithr by x-ray or MRi.  Please schedule an appointment.

    What have your Drs said?

    What have your Drs said?  Pain lasting 2 yrs should have been checked out a long time ago.

    I had been thinking I may have nerve damage from the surgery.I went to my oncologist and family Doctor .The oncologist run test on m blood and said all the test look good .Come back in three months .And have blood work done again.The family Doctor put me on Maloxicam and said if it did not improve I have to have some testing done . Think you for your advice

    I had read somewhere that nerve damage can caus e pain

    I have had surgery before and have pain for a long time afterward so thought it was normal .

    Is there any way -- You can get a 2nd opinion?

    Insurance permitting - I have another Doctor take a look at me.   I realize that it is a hassle, traveling, waiting for appointment - searching for a Doctor - but, I would sleep better knowing that your pain = is pre-breast cancer surgery, etc.

    Best of luck..

    Wish they would X ray or something .

    I would like to know why I still have pain .Can'.t tell the meloxicam is helping that much.I did change my oncologist . He said it is because of being out of balance .
