Morning everyone, had my first intravenous chemotherapy session yesterday morning, all went well.
today I’m suffering with very tight calf muscles on both legs, very stiff to walk. Has anyone else noticed this sort of thing? Many thanks for reading.
Hi Dodgydodar Yes I remember having exactly that as I hobbled up the stairs but I think it only lasted a day or so? Here’s a post that we put together a few years ago which might help - sometimes it’s good to know what’s normal and what’s not
Hope it goes well and a warm welcome to the board too
Take care
