Can Treated Breast Cancer Cause Pain And Red Rashes On Forearm?
Hi!
I am having sharp pains (spasms) on my right forearm and have some rash spots that appearred in the last 24 hours along my arm. I have had radiation for breast cancer which ended on Sept. 20, 2011 and I also have herniated discs in my neck. This pain is so severe and consistent that I can't sleep. Any idea what the cause could be? I'm getting very worried. Thank you
