Patricia,

I started with pain 12 days post Taxotere. I have pain in the heals of my feet, my knees and my hips. I believe the steroids hid the arthritis while on the chemo, and our pain is a direct effect from the taxols. Some days pain is better than others. The more I move around the better. Reminds me of my grandmother who didn't want to sit for fear she wouldn't be able to get back up. But sometimes my heels hurt real bad, just the other day I was limping around the kitchen trying to make dinner. I hope that it goes away with time. I try not to take anything unless it is really bad.
