Help with side affects -woken up in awful pain

Hi MammarB 

I had a painful, pulsating feeling in the small of my back the day after I had the final injection of each 3 week cycle with EC.

I found that if I lay on my back with a hot water bottle under me then the pain went, but as soon as I stood up it came back. It only lasted 24 hours and then I was fine until 3 weeks later.

Thankyou so much I’ve been really freaking out ! It’s just so scary not knowing if it’s normal ? 
I do appreciate your help ! Xxx

Any other tip greatly appreciated 

Thankyou 

The only other thing I did was take paracetamol, but the heat from the hot water bottle gave instant relief.

I was told to take an antihistamine and that really helped with the pain. The logic was explained to me but I can't remember it now. I took cetirizine one a day. 

I ended up taking codiene after my 2nd EC as the pain in my ribs and breast bone was so sharp I couldn’t lay down or sleep. It went away after 2-3 days of taking pain killers. I was switched to Docetaxel and pre empted it with a mix of ibuprofen and paracetamol. 
The side effects of beating this sh*tty disease really are the pits!
