Cancer or not

Hi. I Have been suffering with pain under my left arm pit down to my waist for 4 years. It feel like something is growing there. I also get shingles every 3 months or so which comes out as blisters on the top of my leg. My doctor just keeps sending me for blood tests and x ray which come back clear. I am exhausted and tired all the time. I feel like this is the end. I was sent for an MRI scan but they only scanned my head and neck. What can I do to get better? 

  • Shingles is such a painful condition and it can affect your nerves, leave you worn out, run down and very unwell.  Have you asked if you can have the shingles injection to help you?  Obviously I can't comment on the pain under your arm as I'm not a doctor.  I'm sure it's not the end, I think you are run down,, worried and feel that you are not being helped.  But it's good that your tests came back clear.  I take a well woman vitamin every day, you can get them in any drug store, they take a number of weeks to feel any benefits but it's worth trying.  Eat well, get yourself less fatigued and hopefully you will feel more positive.  All my best wishes, Carol x
