Has anyone experienced numbness in the hand pain in the arm and a rush of blood through the neck after completing ceylex

doctor has requested scan but would welcome suggestions. Gill

I haven't experienced the rush of blood you describe, and have not had chemo (diagnosed stage 1a), but I have had problems with numbness and pain in my right arm and hand. Xrays and an MRI showed that this was due to an osteophyte pressing on the nerve to my arm - I have severe osteoartjritis in my neck, apparently, though that is not where I experience pain! My GP has prescribed what she assures me is a very small dose of pregabalin (Lyrica), and that has taken care of the pain very efficiently.

I hope that your problem is as benign and can be treated as successfully!
