I am on Herceptin weekly. I do have muscle aches and joint stiffness and I blame it on the taxol because its that very deep bone ache. I know chemo can cause arthritis or even make it worse. As I have posted here before I am able to manage my symptoms by using flaxseed oil either by capsules or from the bottle. I don't take any medications over the counter or prescriptions if I can help it as it all brings down the immune system which we don't need. I have used glucosamine capsules before the flaxseed and that worked for me. I like the flaxseed because it helps my dry skin, hair and nails. I am ER/PR neg. for those that are pos. you may need to be careful of the flaxseed. I would probably do the glucosamine instead. Each person has to see what the dosage is that works for them. I hope this helps. hugs, Sandy
