Hi Ladies I am so anxious again. I have not been feeling good for some time. I will be having a bravo endoscopy to check this horrible reflux coming out of my nose.(YUK). In addition my lyphodema arm is hurting. Not to mention that my ongoing issue with my radiated breast are causing concern again.. I have had mri,ultrsound and my RO keeps saying it just takes time for the breast to heal from the radiation. In addition to shoulder pain my colloar bone is sore. this is new. I was recently started on blood pressure medication. I am having constant headaches. I just dont know what's going on. Stress? a recurrence? This is a busy time at work.

    Have you posted in the Lymhedema forum? I know it can cause pain. You said your arm was hurting. I don't know if Lymphedema pain can radiate to shoulder and neck area or not. I have mild truncal lymphedema in my chest and it's been sore lately. Sometimes my arm pit feels sore too. Maybe that's just part of the issue. There's lots of knowledgeable ladies on the lymphedema forum and they may have experienced some of the same oains you're having. A lot of doctor's don't know much about Lymphedema. If you have a lymphedema therapist they may have some insight as well.I hate all the worry we have can be worse after treatment! They don't prepare us for it and it's nerve wracking!!!

    Luvmydobies I will post in the lymphedema forum. Thank you so much for responding. I do have a lymphedma therapist that I was seeing. I think I will try and see her again. My mind goes straight to a recurrence. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

    You're welcome! I also don't know what kind of side effects are common with hormone therapy since I'm Triple Negative, but maybe that is part of your issue. I certainly understand fear of recurrence. Remember your body has gone through major changes and heavy duty therapy that can cause long term effects. Also you may check and see if blood pressure meds can cause headaches. I know stress and anxiety can wreak havoc on the body, and can cause pain anywhere, can cause upset stomach, diarrhea, lack of appetite, weight loss, etc.,and it definitely sounds like you're stressed and anxious! Do get things checked out, but TRY not to think the worst. I do the same thing so I need to take my own advice sometimes, but every time I've thought I had something bad and had it checked, it's been something totally opposite than what I thought, so far....

    Please keep us posted. HUGS!!!
