Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between different pain levels in affected arm and health status long-term breast cancer survivors (LTBCSs) identified predictors of at this stage survivorship. Methods: A cross-sectional 80 participants categorized LTBCSs by into three groups: no (0–0.99), mild (1–3.99), moderate to severe (4–10). Variables assessed least 5 years since diagnosis include non-affected arm, interference, cancer-related fatigue (CRF), physical activity (PA) level, fitness condition, mood state, health-related quality life (HRQoL). Results: total 36.25% have pain, 30% 33.75% pain. Furthermore, presence was associated with increased CRF, disturbances, inactivity, as well a decreased HRQoL (all p < 0.05). Regression analysis found “upset hair loss”, CRF “affective domain”, “dyspnea”, “alcohol consumption” significant higher (r2 adjusted = 0.646). Conclusions: 63.75% continue experience negatively impacting their physical, mental, emotional status, severity ≥5 beyond diagnosis. “Upset alcohol consumption collectively explain 64.6% affected-arm level LTBCSs.
