Did you have pain in upper arm after radiotherapy for breast cancer?

I've had severe pain in my right upper arm post radiotherapy for breast cancer. The pain is constant and deep. Worse at night. 

My treatment was on my left side.

I'm here worrying about secondary bone cancer. Anyone else experience same pain?

Thanks

    I had terrible pain in both shoulders after radiotherapy. It took 3 months and massage to make it better. Phone your breast cancer nurse and they will help you. Dont worry on your own. I worry with every pain too. Its normal to feel this anxiety and others have told me it gets less as time goes on
