Hi Kimbo56

Are you having any white cell boosting injections ? as these can cause upper leg, lower back and hip pain. If not maybe phone your oncology unit in the morning for advice.

Lots of ladies here alternate every 2 hours with paracetamol and Ibuprofen for bone/muscle aches as the ibuprofen doesn't contain any paracetmol.

Hopefully someone else who has had Paclitaxel can help with how it was for them ?

Best Wishes, G n' J
