Re: Muscle pain and weakness
Hi Lovemyboys3,
I had sore burning legs. I started to think it would never improve. My anemia and platelets got better over a few weeks. I took Nurofen twice a day (I had only been allowed panadol/ tylenol before that). The Nurofen helped, as did hot showers, and regular exercise - mainly walking. I didn't push myself hard. I couldn't walk up a hill. I had to let myself regenerate.
About two months after the last infusion I felt much better. I was still quite bad at about 6 weeks, but 2 weeks later I was much better. Now there is only a bit of stiffness if I sit still too long. I still get tired and the herceptin infusion makes me tired the next day.
Hope you feel better soon.
Aussie Girl
