hi all - i started treatement earlier this week and had an allergic reaction to the Paclitaxel , but all seemed ok with the Trastuzumab& Pertuzumab injection . I have been taking the naproxen and buscopan they gave me for the side effects, but joint pain in my hips and stomach is unreal. I feel like i am in labour, and nothing is helping. I have done a warm bath, green tea, hot water bottles, gone for a walk but nothing is helping. Has anyone experienced this and if so any tips on what to do to help with the discomfort.
Thanks
Hi missy23 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and although I didn't experience the side effects you're having I thought I'd pop on to 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list again.
You might also like to join the main breast cancer group as it's a busier group than this one so you stand a good chance of connecting with someone there who's experienced the same as you. If this is something that you'd like to do, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
