I'd go on anything if the pain's unbearable - but check it out with your oncology nurse that this level of pain is to be expected. It does sound awful.

Let us know how you get on. xx

will do :) x

I was the same on the two lines of chemo...but refused pain killers of any type...and even now I am often kept awake with pains in my legs or arms or both....(but not as bad as I was while I was on chemo) so I can empathise with you...I am not much into taking medication...

so I am sorry I can't advice you..but what does your specialist nurse advice? Perhaps you should o with her advice... I do hope things will get better soon love x G x

Hello

I had dreadful leg pain after my first dose of chemo but my physio sorted it out, very much worth the money. She gave me a painful massage and exercises to do, which did the trick.

Good luck

Love Christinex
