Diagnosed last November and doing ok so far. 

taking dabrafenib and trametanib since March but suddenly got quite bad muscle/joint pain. Paracetamol not making much difference. 

  • Hi there. For what it’s worth I started getting numbness and joint pain after my second infusion last August (pembrolizumab). The oncologist didn’t think it was linked to my treatment but I was pretty sure it was as I’d never had this before.  It was subsequently diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome and shoulder bursitis. Months later I was put on a short course of steroids for another side effect (oral thrush) and amazingly within two days all my joint pain started to disappear. 

    Just passing this on in case it’s of help. 

    All the best with your continuing treatment
