15/5.5ft/170pounds. I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma October 31, Stage 2b. Ive been getting chemotherapy in my right arm through a PICC line. Starting yesterday I ve been getting a sharp pain in my armpit when I press on it or a numb feeling when my arm are down against my side. Can you explain to me why I am receiving this pain and if it can affect me horribly and cause problems after the PICC is removed. Thank You
There can be 2 reasons for your symptoms. One is that you are having peripheral neuropathy (weakness of nerves) which is a known side effect of certain chemotherapy Chat Doctor.
