@craigbauer I had the same symptoms about 6months after completing 35/7. My left arm was unusable. I got the Tactile Medical flexi touch (paid for by insurance for lymphedema) and I found exercises/massage to do for the vagus nerve (runs from brain thru neck to all abdominal organs) which worked. (Thank You, Jesus) My arm is no longer painful and range of motion is close to normal which is normal I was unable to use it for 6 months.

I am surprised to hear that your having a challenge in your arm. Kudos to you 15 years. May I ask where your cancer was? I have nerve damage in my left shoulder. Lymph node was cancerous.
I do physical therapy, massage and mld. Warm wishes.
