Re: 2nd Chemo Update - Rib Pain Question

Vicky ~
I suffer from the rib pain...still :-( and just as Becky said the change in pressure/weather will make my scars bother me. I wish so much I would have gone to a PT right away. I ended up with frozen shoulder about 1/2 year after diagnosis and it was so painful for the scar tissue to be broken up.
I didn't have the diarrhea problem but definitely had constipation. What helped me the most was juicing carrots and adding some different fruits to it...mostly apples and kiwi. I also think you don't drink as much water when you feel bad and it just all tastes bad anyway. You are taking a tough combo of drugs and I know it is hard on you.
I'm thinking about you and hoping you'll feel better every day!
Hugs ~ Ruth
