Good Morning Amanda,

Yes, I had hip pain on herceptin. Almost the entire time I was on it. Also I had knee pain when doing steps first thing in the morning or after sitting for a while. Like you, when I was up and about and did my walks that pretty much took care of it. However, it seems from many on the baord here, that joint pain on herceptin is pretty common. I've been off herceptin since October, 2006 and all joint pain is gone. Now it's just "old age" pain I think. LOL! Kidding! Seriously, the joint pain is gone.

Take care! God Bless and a hug of support and love I send.
