Hiya All, just wondering if anyone has had problems with their hand and arm? I'm 3 months post chemotherapy, I had a few problems with my veins after my first and second docetaxal, but was told that it should get better in time.

However I'm still struggling, with aching, pain and sometimes burning sensation, I'm not sure it's going to get any better or if there is anything I can do to help it? 

Anyone else have this problem?

    Eek no, but I’ve got red lines across each nail which are slowly turning black and a couple are v tender. Im finished with chemo after 6. I guess the chemo has a lot to answer for and yours is one of the many side affects.

  • Yes I'm beginning to think it may be a permanent issue, but in the grand scheme of things I'm alive so I suppose it's a small price to pay.

    I hope that you don't lose your nails sending you hugs xx
