    I was on Avastin for maintenance for almost two years altogether and did not experience joint, nerve or muscle pain. I had to stop because the Avastin affected my kidneys too much. ( Also, I stayed on it longer than the subjects in the clinical trials; it did keep the cancer from returning so far.)

    I wish you all the best!
