Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I had breast cancer in my left breast 14 years ago. I was treated with chemotherapy and radiation after a lumpectomy and the removal of 14 lymph nodes. I still have difficulty raising my left arm, along with burning, tingling and itching in my armpit area. I have a small scar on my lung and cracks in my ribs.
