  • Hi

    I'm sorry to read that you're in pain and I'm hoping that since writing the pain is beginning to go.

    I don't have the experience you're looking for but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. This could be because the group is very active and it's easy for a post to fall off the first page before the person with the right experience has seen it. Replying to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussions list.

    I do hope you can get this pain under control quickly.

  • Hey, I would say just monitor the pain and if it gets worse maybe speak to your BC nurse or call the cancer helpline. I got terrible bone pain in my knees after my first docetaxel and ended up having to take codine for it which worked wonders.

    Hoping you’ve just overdone it and it will calm down with rest.

    Wish you all the very best xxx
