Swelling
Kat,
Sorry to hear you are having these issues. I am thinking about you, the only advice I can offer is maybe see a rheumatologist. I had swelling & heaviness after herceptin treatments then eventually all my joints were inflammed & immobile. I was tested and never really given a firm diagnosis but went on a med and the problems cleared up. I have since discontinued the medicine with no joint issues. I have also taken the advice of Robin and many here and eat an anti inflammatory diet. Try reading To Young to Feel Old it really helps with the dietary questions.
Best of luck.
Mary
