My mom is in her 5th month of Octreotide injections to treat her neuroendocrine lung carcinoid that had spread. She’s been having lower back pain and leg weakness. Has anyone experienced any pain like this resulting directly from the Octreotide? Thank you
Hello and welcome to the community, although sorry to hear your mom is in some pain. Could I suggest you post your question in the group for Neuroendoctrine tumours . I have seen Octreotide mentioned in the group, so somebody may have experience of it and may be able to help. Click the link to get to the group. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
