Numb hands, forearms, pain from neck down one arm, had breast cancer 1999

I had breast cancer, grade 3, had lumpectomy , 2 tumours removed, 1 from chest wall back in 1999. Now I suffer with numb hands, numb arms and sometimes bad ache pain from neck down left arm. nerve conduction test for carpol tunnel was clear but neurologist said was carpal tunnel when hit nerve with the hammer!!! suffered for 2 years now, had physio have splints and cant believe nerves are fine as I feel the pain and tingling. Where do I go from here, was told this is mild what I feel, no way is it mild as it now affects upto my forearms, mostly at night, fingers numb now as I type!!! please pass on your experieces which may be of some help, Thankyou, regards jack

Dear angeljack, This is a breast cancer forum dealing more with questions related specifically to breast cancer.  Pain can be a very complex problem that first requires thorough examination and history of the symptom then management and treatment strategies could be recommended.  Perhaps assistance from a pain control specialist who could evaluate and offer suggestions, these types of specialists would more likely be available at large acedemic centers.
