Re: Help! My hand and foot joints hurt!!!
Denise -
A study just came out yesterday saying that Omega 3 fish oil supplements can adversely affect chemo - so don't take them. My onc. forbid me to take any supplements at all during chemo -
Have you tried Tylenol for muscle aches and pains or Tylenol for arthritis - again, check with your onc.
I take 4500 units of Vitamin D daily, but this was after I had completed chemo.
A nice warm bath with Epsom salts should help.
all the best
caya
