I have just started with my year of herceptin. Have started experiencing a really stiff back. I wouldn’t say pain just more stiff and trouble bending!! Anyone else get this. Have just finished chemo too so wondering if it’s just that. I have always had a rubbish back and doesn’t help carrying a toddler around and lifting pushchair into the car several times a day just wondering if anyone else had this too??

I have just had my fifth herceptin and I do get stiff for a few days after. I also have a rubbish back (surgery a few years ago for a prolapsed disc) and I struggle mainly to twist and move after standing for a long time.
I think it’s normal!!
