Hi everyone, I’m hoping to find out if things settle.

I started my first cycle on Thursday and have been in almost constant pain since. Pains are in my lower back/ pelvis going down to my legs.

I am seeing my oncologist tonight for a review.

I would have described my pain on Monday As a 7-8. My husband has been asking me since, “how is your pain now?” To which I reply “4”. I don’t know if it’s me getting used to the pain being there as opposed to it actually lessening.

I don’t want to take paracetamol as it’s harsh on the liver, so taking a low dose codeine with ice packs (more or less continuous as heat seems to make it worse). Pain is not really controlled at all, only managing 2-3 hrs sleep due to pain.

Has anyone experienced this type of pain and does it settle?

I am on 600mg Ribociclib and only had one injection, due the 2nd one next week
