Hello, I am a new member.
Can you help me with the pain I am having ?
It's needle like as soon as I touch my skin.
I have problems lying down as my back or my legs will touch the bed.
Standing it's under my fet and anyway very tired.
Am I the only one ?

Hi
I had the same problem with Taxol - DO TELL YOUR DOCTOR -some women are allergic to tax. I only had the tingling in my toes and fingers a couple of times, but I had the strangest pains in my legs and feet. I was already taking a daily Rx (nsaid) for arthritis and I had to take Vicodin on and off during the 12 weeks of Taxol. It went away within 2 or 3 weeks of completing my therapy. For me it was not something that excercise or OTC pain killers could fix.
Helpful Hint - If you're taking tax for breast cancer - post on the breast cancer discussion page (same with Ovarian). There are thousands of women on those pages and you'll get overwhelming response.
