Re: Joint stiffness and pain
I don't think it is the herceptin. I started with taxotere/herceptin and had terrible leg cramps, stiffness, and joint pain. After finishing it slowly went away. It took maybe two months or so. Get lots of exercise it will help! Hang in there, the only side effects I feel on Herceptin are the constant dripping nose and a little tired for a couple of days afterward.
