Hello! 

I am almost done with my chemotherapy. I have three treatments left and currently doing Nivo-AVD.

I am currently struggling with lower back pain when standing or walking for too long. I am assuming this is because of weight gain. My oncologist won’t really recommend anything to help. I also get bad leg cramps, my legs are so tight from chemotherapy so walking distances makes me so nervous. I am going to a baseball game in May (donated tickets from Dana Farber) and it is in a suite so I can be comfortable. I’m just nervous about these symptoms while there since they happen a lot. I just want to have fun. 

In addition, I am also dealing with INSANE bloating and trapped gas under my left rib cage. I use Gas-X but sometimes it doesn’t work. Is there something else that can be prescribed? 

Are there any other tips or tricks I can do to help with these symptoms? I am more concerned about the bloating and gas after I eat food. It ends up being extremely painful and I can never get comfortable when it happens.
