Forearm Pain from Imbruvica

[brooklyn7672]

How do I relieve the pain in my forearms? I take 140mg of Imbruvica.

Thanks

If it's cramps, try magnesium as long as your renal function is good. If it's achy, consider Tylenol or I like topical voltaren gel by prescription.

Thank you. I'll speak to my Doctor about that.

Hi Brooklyn, when did you start using Imbruvica?

[brooklyn7672 in reply to aylinozel]

I started May 15th

My husband started using Imbruvica in August 2019 and he had terrible pains in his forearms first then in his legs. We talked to our specialist and he told us that these are temporary side effects (mostly) and gave us some simple painkillers. After 8-12 weeks all pain dissappeared. We are suffering from cramps now.. I hope you will get better sooner but it takes a couple of weeks
