I noticed after a couple of months of herceptin I started getting joint pain in my feet, knees, and lower back. I took Glucosamine and that seemed to help, but I had to take it for several weeks to experience any effect.
My last treatment was Jan. 31, and my pain is greatly diminished.
I only took benedryl the first treatment; after that I took 2 extra-strength Tylenol before each treatment.
