Continual joint pain and anaemia.  Since treatment of course my thyroid has been compromised and now on thyroxin. I was folate deficient for a while but that’s rectified itself However, I’m still anaemic and not absorbing iron. Throughout this process my joint pain is worsening particularly in my hands, but also in my knees, feet and shoulders. My blood tests for arthritis were negative as were all my other tests for inflammatory markers, etc. 

It’s now debilitating and causes me to wake through pain and discomfort.  Is anyone else experiencing these issues.  My GP has written to my oncologist asking for advice, I’m due to see him in a fortnight. 

I'm 20 months post ChemoRadio so not understanding why the past 6 months this is all happening.
