Mom has been having severe back pain this past week....of course, I immediately think she has bone mets...I purchased her a heating Pad today that seems to minimize the discomfort a little. She says that extra strength tylenol doesn't help...anyone have bone mets or is this normal taxol side effects......? Her CT is Thursday...results Friday....I am not optimistic....I hate CT result day....

    pain
    I was having mild back pain awhile back but it went away. My biggest complain is still fatigue and gas. Don't jump the gun. Mom's been through a lot and hasn't been moving around alot. Not moving around can bring on aches and pains too. Good luck. I'll be thinking of you.

    I can't say I have had back pain
    but I do have pain in a lot of other joints. I get toothache-like pain in my shoulders and knees. It has been 7 months since my last chemo but I am still feeling the effects. I get tired easily and get a cold sweat when I over exert which does't take much. I also get hot at night, pull of the covers and in about 10 minutes pull them back on and so forth.

    Lisa try not to panic Hun
    Lisa try not to panic Hun easier said than done I know! I am mrs google to, it is great to do research , but on the other hand it can frighten us into believing all sorts of things! Don't panic yourself until you know for sure, it could be anything, there have been several posts on here women thinking their cancer has spread and it ends up being unrelated! Not everything is cancer! Although it sure as he'll feels like it sometimes!
    Keep your chin up and let us know the outcome, praying that your mum has a great ct scan result! Xxx
