    Morning

    Is this something that has just started or have you had this a while but it seems to be getting worse. Type of pain; muscular, joints, bone or nerve related etc and is this in the lower back, hips, legs/knees as these can be pointers as to the cause.

    May be chemo related as it can take 6 months to recover from that barrage and some issues can come on 3-6 months post chemo with some chemo drugs like Docetaxel ?

    It may well be that the chemo has brought on early menopause and it is the lack of oestrogen causing this - Have you seen your GP to ask for some insight into this ?

     Hi ,

    I don’t really have much knowledge of Triple Neg BC, however there is a group on here which might be more use to you, although we would all try to help if we can.

    Being in pain for whatever reason is no fun, I’m glad to hear you are going to mention it to your Dr. Mine always says, don’t suffer in silence.

    Good Luck x
