Re: Leg muscles aching

Linn65,

I had the same symptoms with Taxotere and Herceptin. I believe it is part of the peripheral neuropathy. My symptoms resolved after finishing chemotherapy.

I would advise exercise too. It helped quite a bit with quality of life. I know it is tough - with the nausea and diarrhea, etc. I managed a walk everyday, I just didn't eat first, lol.
