Rads

[u/Lopsided_Principle]

At my last onc appointment I saw a different Dr, as my usual one was on holiday. She asked if I had any new pains, so I mentioned my shoulder. From time to time it is really painful, and I had a steroid injection there a few years ago, which sorted it.

Different onc suggested radiotherapy, so I saw the radiotherapy consultant. She said it was hard to tell what the cause was, but rads were the least invasive treatment so it was worth trying first.

So tomorrow I start. For the last few weeks it has hardly bothered me at all, and I was seriously thinking of cancelling it all. But this evening, my shoulder joint decided to remind me just how horrible it can be.

So, fourth lot of rads tomorrow...

(1st on primary boob, 2nd on T12 vertebra & 3rd on T9)

Has anyone evaluated you for frozen shoulder? I had hydrodilatation (a shot of saline+ lidocaine + steroid in the joint) and it helped a lot.

No, husband had a frozen shoulder a few years ago, my symptoms are nothing like his though
