Hello all. Has anyone suffered arm pain while having a paclitaxel infusion. The pain was really bad yesterday. It wasn't from the canula site it was a throbbing pain that moved up and down my arm. It was so bad I thought I was having a stroke and my BP went through the roof. I had an ecg and my heart was fine. That did calm me and the bp started to drop. I had to have another canula inserted into my other arm to have my carboplatin. The staff though it may have been a reaction but this was my 4th dose in this round of therapy. And 4.5 years ago I had the full 6 doses without any issue.
Thanks Hollsmolls
Hi Hollsmolls I haven’t experienced anything like this, I just wanted to pop by and say how sorry I am that this happened. That must of been so scary for you ! I hope your next treatment goes better for you. I hope you are feeling ok today.
