Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had a fracture of the upper arm, and at the wrist 7 months back. Had stiffness of the joint on the right hand.
There could be some mal union, or non union, at old fractures, or may be fresh hair line fracture at old fractures.
Other causes could be the deficiency of either calcium, or vitamin D, by it self or secondary to the chemo.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon, for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically.ofloxacin, and intiinflamatories, and muscle relaxants.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
