Jane - I assume you also did a taxane, and I know lots of women who have severe (including myself) bone and joint pain from that. Mine went away after treatment and I had no side effects from herceptin alone, but I know lots of women who had that pain continue for months.

I assume it goes away with over the counter meds? You might also mention it to your oncologist, maybe there's something they can do.
