    Zina, have you mentioned your neck pain to your doctor?  That would be a good thing to do.

     I also had Invasive Lobular BC, 6 MONTHS of Chemo, MRM right side, 34 Rad's (stopped short of 36 due to skin breakdown.  Last CT scan about 4 months ago which was clean, bone scan at diagnosis.  I am back on Arimidex now (was on Aromasin before and Arimidex prior).   I also have neck pain, but I have a feeling it is due to thinning bones, last DEXA scan showed osteopenia.  My neck pain existed prior to treatment but has worsened since treatment.  I do have arthritis in many different areas.

    And yet another ILC gal,right side also.Since rads I do get pain on right side of neck,shoulder and shoulder blade,and I am sure it's from rads,because my my arm flexabilty is certainly compromised.I think those muscles are so tight.I do try stretching exercises.

    I also take Imitix,only when I get a migraine,which usually starts on one side of my neck,but it's not everyday.

    I have neck pain. I am having an mri march 8th. I pray it's not mets but  honestly I think it was from being intubated by an ungentle anesthesiologist. I woke up from my mastectomy in July 09 and took pain meds for my neck not my breast. It went away while i was on steroids for chemo but it's back now that I am done. My ENT said the type of tube they used required them to tip my head way back and that could have caused injury. I also have terrible TMJ problems. Oh.. just and FYI... A friend of mind who is 42 suffered an imitrex induced heart attack. I guess it can cause your coronary arteries to spasm and hers closed off for a period of time causing heart muscle to die.

    Do we have someone trolling here to increase traffic to a website? 

    Anyway, here is something that works for me, and I always forget the degree that is does so. A book called "Pain Free" by Pete Egoscue, a few books he has written!. He also has a website but one should have one of his books.  When I do the exercises I have less pain but have been lax on doing them.  I will have to put his book out and start doing them again, just takes discipline.  Oh plus less forgetfulness!  LOL!
