As a long time Herceptin user I have had the achey joints, especially hips, since starting. It did ease up after the first year, but whenever the weather changes flares up again. Bone scans are negative for mets, but indicate arthritis. My personal theory is that the immune system is activated by the Herceptin antibodies, which causes the aches and pains we normally associate with flu or cold symptoms. But one should always bring these symptoms to the attention of their doctor, as they need to track all of this and order appropriate scans if necessary.
