Re: Herceptin and chills/joint pain?
I had severe joint pain, and realized it is from the Herceptin. I went off of it in Oct, to do a trial and within a month all of my joint pain was gone.
I just had my first dose again a few days ago, and I am worried that the pain will be starting again.
I am planning on seeing a physical therapist to help me with exercises that could alleviate some of the pain. I also ice, and sit in a whirlpool tub, which also seems to help.
