So I was diagnosed in 21and mets to bones in 23. Im currently taking capecitabine. In last few days my right arm between my inside elbow and arm pit is tingly. Its not painful but to touch is very sensitive. Theres not redness but feels a little warm
I have had surgery lumpectomy x3 and mastectomy and initially there was some tingling and swelling but this settled a long time ago. Im aware of peripheral neuropathy i dont get pins and needles in my hands, could this be related. Should I see
my gp or wait till nov to speak to oncologist
Hi I am having tingling sensations in my left arm mainly right down to my fingers it is worse at night. Sometimes I lose sensation in my fingers. I think it is caused by the mets on the spine because the different parts of the spine control different parts of the body. If it worrying you can you phone the breast care nurse and see what she suggests.
