Yes, chemotherapy was awful I finished it a year ago and still have problems. Sucks

I’m 2 years done and doctors are baffled. I’ve been a pain patient for years and it’s been completely manageable/managed by a spinal cord stimulator since 2018. Had chemo for breast cancer in 2019/2020 then uterine cancer 2022/2023. Now going for the trial with an internal pain pump.

no one has diagnosed me for arthritis but the symptoms I suffer from are similar, joint pain in shoulders, therefore limited range of movement of my arms, pains in wrists, neck pain, I'm still getting chemo infusions
for maintenance therapy, I'm using voltaren cream 1% on the affected body parts and do exercise, and if necessary pain medication, I never had body stiffness or shoulder issues before chemo treatment - the oncologist did not offer an explanation and suggested to see a family care doctor - this is my fourth month with
"frozen shoulder" symptom
