Zometa

Hi Barbara,

I am so sorry to hear that you have developed bone mets. I receive Zometa once a month and my experience has been that my legs get very achy especially my knee joints. It seems to happen every time I get it and it lasts for about a week or two then it gets better until the next infusion. I have found that walking and long soaks in a hot bath really help me. I have also heard that tonic water helps with the aches too because of the quinine in it. I haven't tried that as I am not sure that I could stomach it. Maybe something as simple as Tylenol would help if you are allowed to take it and tolerate it well.

I wish you all the best Hon.

Big Hugs,
Nicola
