Following the day 12 injection I woke in the night with awful pains in my lower back & legs.  It felt like being in labour but with the added diasadvantage of legs that couldn't hold my body weight.  Painkillers helped but I had a couple of hours not knowing how to relieve these symptons.  Has any one else experienced this & could it be a one off or another side effect which I can expect to get after every injection?

  • Hi there,

    Yes I experienced this but only after my first Docetaxel which was my fourth treatment it is pretty common.

    I got it again after fifth treatment but not as bad. I did my injections at night  but I’m not sure if it makes a difference or not.

    Hope you don’t get anymore SE’s

    Gentle hugs x
