Emelie,
When I get up after sitting or laying down my feet literally feel like they are going crack into a million pieces. I originally thought it was from the Taxatore but it continued after I stopped it. I started Herceptin and the pain started up again. I went off Herceptin -- no pain. I'm no on Taxol/Carboplatin and Herceptin and the pain is back. At this point I don't know what it's from. I've found that if I wiggle my feet -- sort of make turns with the feet using the ankles for a little while before getting up that the pain isn't near as bad.
