Does chemotherapy cause pain in the forearm?
Patient: Hello, I have a 13 year old daughter who is a cancer (Leukemia) survivor at the age of 5. She has been complaining of pain in her left forearm for about a week. There is nothing visible, no swelling and to the lay person, the tissue feels the same as her right arm. Could this be side affects from Chemotherapy? Or simply a strain? Thank you for your time. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  It doesn’t look like a side effect of chemotherapy after such a prolong period. Looks more like a simply strain.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Deepak Sundriyal
