after chemo pain
Hi I'm new to this. I have had 5 Chemos and then the shot to keep blood up, have had no problem just a little sickness and low blood pressure. But the last two times once on my left arm a knot red, a lot pain now on my right arm same thing. At first we thought it was a spider but this time I know it was not. When it happen in the left arm I had chemo in that one. Then the right arm the same thing. The drs can not figure it out they just give me meds. Has anyone had anything like this?
