I finished my last infusion treatment in December and have been experiencing problems with my arms. Unable to pick up my tea cup with my right arm and was told I had trigger finger & had to get a cortazone shot. 2 weeks later I exp pain in my left arm and was told I had tendinitis and was given another shot & not sure if this is side effects from the treatment. Has anyone exp this after chemo? Any advice you can share, would be much appreciated.

This sounds like a really challenging experience to navigate after completing treatment. Many people in cancer communities report various physical effects that can develop in the weeks and months following chemotherapy, including joint and muscle issues. It's encouraging that you're working with healthcare providers to address these symptoms and getting appropriate treatment. Others here may have similar experiences to share, and connecting with fellow community members who understand the post-treatment journey can be really valuable.
