Swollen fingers

[marianne88]

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has swollen fingers on ibrance. This is a new side effect for me after 10 months. Thanks.

The swelling I have is from lyphedema not imbrance. Swelling can be in hand, fingers, arm etc. Compression assists in controlling the swelling. My Lymphedema Physical Therapists assists me. You may want to get a compression glove. Depending on your insurance you may want to simply buy one directly online.

Online it states that arm or leg swelling can be a symptom of a blood clot and to contact your doctor within 24 hours. In my case, I had lymphedema before taking imbrance.

From what I read on the facebook Ibrance Group Page, it seems fairly common. I have been on Ibrance for 11 cycles, swelling at finger joints on both hands with so much stiffness I can hardly close my hands at times. I see an acupuncturist ever week which helps with the pain in hands and also back pain from Bone Mets. I am thinking about trying Ostio Bi-flex which several ladies say works for them. I also use a CBD cream on my hands

My holistic doctor suggested me joint support supplement - Wobenzym N!

ladies try drinking an obscene amount of water every day to keep your kidneys flushed and see if that helps. Obviously, watch the salt as well.

Yes. I’ve experienced that occasionally. Not sure why that happens. I’ve been off Ibrance for a month because my counts crashed and then I had emergency gallbladder surgery I’m nervous to be off if it. It was taking 125mg and he said he’d lower it to 100mg whenever I’m back on it. Have you had any large gaps in your treatment?

Hi. No I haven’t missed a month yet on ibrance. I have been on it almost a year and this was the first time I have had swollen fingers. Sorta strange. Stay strong 💕

Well, just had surgery for a trigger finger and I’ve been on it for 2 years now. I find every joint is much stiffer now

What is a trigger finger? Sounds kinda obvious but what are the symptoms?
