Muscular Pain in Neck and Upper Back/Shoulders

Hi

I have completed my breast cancer treatment which was a total of 18 months including chemo, mastectomy, radiotherapy and full lymph node removal. I am not on Anastrozole and monthly Zoladex injections. 

I am suffering with such bad muscular pain in my neck and upper back/shoulders. Has anyone else suffered with similar?

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Helen although I'm sorry to hear about the pain you've been experiencing in your upper back, neck and shoulders.

    Hopefully some of our members who have contended with similar issues after finishing their treatment will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very supportive and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    Do keep an eye on the pain Helen, and if it doesn't improve, or continues to get worse, then do let your GP or BCN (if you were assigned one) know.

    Kind regards,
