Shoulder pain after chemo

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced severe shoulder pain and limitation of movement from chemo? My onc. recommended a rhuematologist who diagnosed bursitis and gave me steroid injections in both shoulders with some relief for only two weeks or less. The pain is very debilitating. Help!

I have the same thing: bursitis developed in shoulder after chemo port. I believe that when if ever the port is removed, the bursitis will go away. Does anyone else have bursitis in shoulder after port installed/chemo? How did yours work out?
