    Hi

    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

  • Thank u I took you advise with paracetamol and ibuprofen and managed some sleep. Feeling more in control today 

    thank you so much
