Stiff Neck on Folfiri

I was wondering if anyone on Folfiri has experienced any abnormal neck pain? I have had this from the first round. I can manage it with self-massage and what not but it is there every day and I can't really turn my neck quickly - like when you need to sometimes driving. I did go for a massage but one never is enough and I am so busy I don't really have time to go regularly.

Monday is hopefully my last round and I am hoping this will dissipate over time. I did not have this on Folfox but after Folfox was finished I had upper body pain that could be like arthritis but when I ran and got hot, it went away for a while until it one day I realized I hadn't had it for quite a while.

Thanks,

Catherine

    neck pain!
    I totally had that! I thought it was just due to the position I would find myself for extended periods of time while on treatment (laying on the couch and watching tv :) ). I wound up getting deep tissue massage from a recreational therapist every 2 weeks, just prior to treatments and it was a life saver! I was back to being able to move my head comfortably while driving and much less self-massage needed.
