Pain
I have pain in both of my shoulders but I think mine is from keeping my neck stiff. Since my medaport line goes up one side of my neck, I've been affraid to move my neck and shoulders too much thinking I may pull the port line. Because of the lack of motion, I think I have caused muscle strains in both shoulders. Too much movement, too little of movement and repetitive movement can cause strains and other problems in the shoulder areas. If she is like me and kept too stiff, this may be the reason for her pain. They may be able to see this in her PET scan. I know they can see it with a CT scan or MRI.0 -

Thanks. I think that it may have been a result of her position while sleeping. Hopefully it will disappear. We are anxiously awaiting the PET scan and praying for good news.0
