Hi,
It can be due to radiotherapy, if these are sharp pains but gout can also leads take treatment for that from physician but whenever you take treatment for cancer. It produces gouty as cells die during treatment. Other cause is history of trauma, need shoulder X-ray.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
