from what i understand thisladyg said:I did not have chemo
so I can not say if the pain is normal or not. What I will say is call your onc. Don't wait and worry if you are having a problem. That is part of the reason we have drs.

Pain
Are you on Tamoxifen or Arimidex or another AI? A side effect of both of those drugs are aches and pains. I had alot of pain on Arimidex so onco switched me to Tamoxifen which I tolerate much better.
Is your pain localized or an all over ache? Sorry you're in pain. I would call and make an appointment with your onco.
Best to you!0 -
Pain after chemo
I finished chemo in July and still have to take my pain meds to sleep. Not sure if that is from the chemo or the fact that I had a radical mastectomy almost a year ago. I still have alot of numbness under the armpit and across my chest bone and it's still very sensitive. I think we will all have to deal with a certain amount of pain for the rest of our lives but it shouldn't be that painful. I would definately call your oncologist. Hey we are paying them after all . It's better to be safe than sorry is what my oncologist tells me.0 -

I didn't have chemo either, so, I don't know if that might be what is causing the pain. Please ask your oncologist and let us know what he says.

hav e been thru so much -- it needs time to recover as well as heal. Then we try to over do things and push ourselves. Life will return to normal, a little at a time. Listen to your bodies and if pain persist - please contact your doctor and ask for maybe some physical therapy time - streching helps, as do Yoga. Relax, Rest and allow your body to heal.
Strength and Courage,

I called my ONC and he called a prescription (Vicoden) to my pharmacy I dont really want to take a narcotic drug, He said it could be a reaction from the taxol and if the meds do not help I have an appointment with him on the 28th he will discuss further with me then,Today is really bad it feels like I have a ton of weight on my shoulders.0 -

Went to ONC today he thinks my body aches are artritis. He gave me celibrx to take for 6 wks if that doesnt help then he will do a bone scan. He told me that my cancer markers came back great 12.70
