Joint pain and chemo
 |
Nov 02, 2009 - 1:10 am
I have been on Temodar for 9 months now and am starting to experience some intense joint pain. I could chalk up the pain and stiffness to getting older but I am 30 and have never had joint issues like this. I am wondering if this is in any way related to chemo. I have read that breast cancer patients experience this during (and after) chemo, but I can't find any info about us brain cancer people. I emailed my doctor but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this while on Temodar. Thanks. Liz |

My NP authorized for me to take glucosamine supplements with chondroitin, and now my joint pain is a lot better. She told me to take it "religiously" without skipping a day, because if you do the stiffness comes back.
This seems to do the trick.

Yes, I too have joint pain in my fingers after being on Temadar for about 10 months now.
