Dianne,
The muscle aches and pains must not be all that uncommon.

While on Chemo I tried to remain active and walked each day. I had a pain in the groin and inside quad area that I was sure was a recurrance of some sort (isn't that the first thing we always think???) I even demanded that I have an ultrasound. Fortunately no tumor or clots of any sort.

Over time the ache has resolved itself. It did take about 6 months after the completion of Chemo.

Here's to letting your body rest and heal from all those toxic chemicals.
