I am on my 4th chemo I’m on Docetaxel and phesgo.
I was wondering had anyone else experienced painful joint pain to the point where they can’t walk?
I have warm baths and put heat pads on, but it’s the one thing that’s really getting me down now as it’s stopping me from going out. The fatigue I can handle but the pain
thank you xx
Thank you, I spoke to my specialist today and it’s attacking my bone marrow so that’s why I’m having the pain,
thank you though xxx️
Are you getting any stronger painkillers prescribed? Hope the pain subsides soon for you. I had 4 sessions of docetaxol and had a lot of pain from about day 3 to day 9 and then it would disappear, but came back at the same time each session.
Hi CarolineD22, no they have just said take paracetamol and I also soak in the bath everyday with Epson salts which does help. My pain comes and goes and never at the same time. 2 more to go then hopefully they wil ease
thank you
hope you are keeping well ️
