Have any of you had to take chemo, after having knee replacements.? If so, did you have any problems with your knees hurting? That was one of the first questions I asked me my Oncologist while considering taking chemo , following my BC lumpectomy. He assured me that it would not have any effect on my artificial replacements. However, today both my knees are hurting so bad, and has me scared to death...My knee replacements took place 7 yrs. ago, and since they healed and therapy, I have never had pain in my knees.

I don't know about knee replacement, but I can tell you that my legs hurt me all through chemo. I have heard other say the same thing.
