Weak muscles and pneumonia

I had stage 1 kidney cancer last year, I had the operation for partial kidney removal and no further treatment was needed. Things seem to be fine so far.

This year I had pneumonia twice. Also experiencing weak muscle in the shoulder, elbow and wrist in the right arm. At night the  fingers on  the right hand become very stiff and get extreme pain with any movement. The left hand also has stiffness but it is mild. This going on for couples of months now. Seen my GP, nothing is coming up in the Xray or blood test. At the moment given Ibuprofen to manage the pain.

Can anyone let me know if they had same experience or know what it could.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that you've had pneumonia twice this year and that you're suffering with weakness in lots of muscles.

    I'm not a member of this group but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    I hope your GP can get to the bottom of this soon.
