Hi All,
I finished my chemo end of May and had surgery. I am about to start Radiotherapy next week. Over the past couple of weeks I have had joint pain that is worst in the morning, when I stand or walk for 60 min or more or I sit for long. Has anyone else had this issue after treatment? I am 44. I have contacted my GP and requested a blood test but I have read some people can ger Rhemotoid Arthrithis after treatment. I am now really worried about this. Any advice would be appreciated.xx
Are you on hormone therapy too? That can cause joint and muscle pain, which s helped with activity. I had muscle and joint pain with docetaxel, but during treatment not afterwards. Now I have sore muscles and joints if I don't move around - activity really helps so try and keep moving!
