When I was on Navelbine, in the first infusions I experienced tremendous bone pain. I was already having severe liver pains because my liver was so diseased at the time of my diagnosis.
I used ALL I could get from my onc. I had Morphine, and Oxy-codone (spelling?) Don't be afraid to ask for stronger pain medication if you need it.
My Navelbine schedule was changed, I went to an every other week schedule, and over time the bone pains decreased, until I no longer needed strong pain meds, and could just use Ibuprofen as needed. Once I reached this point, Navelbine was very tolerable for me. I continued on it for 14 months, until reaching NED in both bone and liver mets.
Talk to your onc, make him aware of the pain you are in. Together you can find a solution that will work for you.
