I have had 2 Turbt and 6 BCG treatments so far.
Treatments were not too bad, Had side effects of fatigue for couple of days after each although the 4th was quite bad and lasted 3 days
I also have had lots of muscle pains and my knee replacement is aching a lot. Woke up this morning and my right arms muscle is very painful
Has anybody else suffered with their muscles/arthritispain?
Morning Jenlids and thanks for your comments. Like you I’ve had BCG and been feeling like I’ve just run a marathon with muscle aches for no obvious reason. I thought it was due to walking around town but it persists without any unusual activity. I have had arthritis in the past , maybe it’s an underlying reason. Best wishes, John.
Just an update. Had a call from a Physio last Monday after 4 days of waiting so wasn't too happy about that. By that time it had eased somewhat so he told me to contact him if things got worse again. This morning I was in a lot of discomfort everywhere. Even lifting the kettle hurt my wrists and washing my hair was hard. He did suggest that if it got bad again I would probably have to have blood tests and he would contact Urology. I also contact my nurse and she said that it is still early days but if worried to contact gp. So ongoing still
