Hi Tarnya74, I agree, the bone pain is really difficult. It slows you down so much. I have been taking panadeine extra at night to help me sleep an Panadol osteo during the day. I did find that the all over bone pain did improve but I was left with the joint pain especially knees. That could be because I already had osteo arthritis and was prone to joint pain anyway. Hopefully yours will improve. The first cycle was the worst as far as bone pain went. I still remember tossing and turning that first night trying to get comfortable. I was totally not expecting that amount of pain. Try the panadeine extra. You can get them over the counter. I feel for you. Good luck x
