About 1 yr after finishing rads I started having horrible chest,rib and back pain, Dr put me on gabapintin 800mg 3x day +20mg 3x day oxycotin and 5mg fr oxycodone for breakthru, Ive had 2 bone scans  mri ct in the past 2 yrs, my pain still haunts me,  I also have a lump on my left side just below ribcage  and it goes around to my back near my kidney and about 2 -3 months ago my hands  legs feet started getiing tingley and when I wake in the am, my arms are numb, I also have lower back pain. just today I had another mri of my spine and neck.  Is all these things that are happening to me normal??? I have other problems, like legs cramps awlful headaches and cronic fatigue, been diagnos with a condition called sweet's syndrome & have carpultunnel in both arms and hands, Ive seen lots of Drs but none have been able to pinpoint a proper diagnos, Im miserable cant sit lay or stand for any length of time. My family Dr ordered the mri, Im just at the end of my rope are these things Im exsperiencing things that others suffer from after breast ca??? Any sugestions??? So far the only postive thing has been my mamos are dense but no tumors please tell me what you think

Are the pains associated from radiation damage or side effects of Arimidex? Has anyone answered that for you?
