    Robsue,

    During my last week of radiation my side and chest area started to swell. It took 2 1/2 weeks after radiation before I could lie on my side again comfortably. The worst part was the pain and stiffness in my shoulder and arm. I still have problems so off to see an OT for advice.

    Yes you should check that you don't have any lymphoedema, mine is very minimal. Also I still find fatigue a problem at times, I think it just takes time.

    Take care, Deb
