Has anyone else had pain in their groin and upper thighs. I was on 18 weeks of Taxol and had 6 Carboplatin treatments during that time.

this is not neuropathy as I have that in my feet. I had a ultrasound for blood clots and didn’t have any. I finished my chemo 2 weeks ago and still suffer from the pain.

    Pain

    I delt with various pains after chemo.  I think each case is individual, but I have been able to attribute much of my post-treatment pain to Hashimoto's (autoimmunity of the thyroid) or eating certain foods. Once I got my Hashimoto's under control, much of the pain went away and once I figured out the offending foods, I was able to reduce my pain quite a bit.  Iknow a number of women who went through chemo for ovarian cancer, and many have Hashimoto's.

    Did you have any lymph nodes removed from your groin during your surgery?
