stiffness in joints and shoulder

HI, has anyone been experiencing stiffness in the joints for the chemos? I have had a sore right arm for about a month on and off. It seems to get better then it comes back. Sometimes the joint or muscle on the left arm hurts and then sometimes the joints in the ankles or neck. I remember it happening after I finished Folfox so now I'm wondering if it's from finishing 12 cycles of folifir.

    Muscle Aches
    I had a lot od very deep muscle aches during chemo and afterwards. (5Fu) Gone now for the most part. I would not be surprised if it effects the joints as well.
