taxotere and muscle pain

Hi all
I finished taxotere (6 cycles) 4 weeks ago and still having muscle pain.Anyone else had this and for how long?
Thanks Teresa

I had Tax but no muscle pain so can’'t help specifically- but my tax Se whgich was pripheral neoropathy went after about 2-3 months…who knows, it might be similar, or on the other hand given how different all our bodies are perhaps not! Hope you can find some pain relief, bw Nicola

Hi Teresa

I finished Taxotere 3 weeks ago and my legs and arms are still killing me! I’m sure it’s all part of the side effects of the ‘infamous’ Tax and hopefully they will ease off soon.
I am also experiencing water retention, my ankles are like 2 watermelons, is the same happening to you?

Hi girls thanks for that.Nicola I hav got nerve ending pain but not too problematic.Deborah no swelling but that must be even more achy are u getting diuretics? I really wanted to check on time frame for pain as I returned to work this week as a district nurse and bending and kneeling is painful and unavoidable.BCC suggests brufen and paracetamol, also swimming instead of walking for exercise.Keep in touch luv Teresax
