Hi Sandy, I was having severe pain down my right leg and they tried putting me on the Cox2 Inhibitors, ie: Vioxx,Neurotin, all they did was mess up my stomach. I went to a massage therapist which did help for a long time. I am still on Herc every 3 weeks and now it seems to settle in my hips and this past week my arm on the masectomy side has been numb and tingly. I had another massage on Friday and since last night my body feels like a train hit it. My chest, under arm and everything in that area is sore to the touch, but I feel no bumbs or lumps. It hurts to take a big deep breath. I know when this first started some of the ladies here were on cox 2 meds. I also had a neurpathy test done and it came out normal. I was on Taxotere also, but have been done with that since March 29. I also would like to know how long these symptoms or side effects can happen. I finally have my strength back and feel good until this last week. Might be a good question for Lisa and the booklet they are putting together. Hope this makes you feel not alone and maybe the cox 2 meds will work for you. If any one has anything for me I would appreciate some feedback. Sorry this is so long. Kristen
