About 2 weeks after my last chemo - docetaxel, carboplatin & herceptin combo, my muscles across the top of legs and lower back were on fire! They felt like I’d run a marathon with bad strain the next day. I walked and did a bit of push bike riding as well as rode my horses as much as I could during chemo. I feel I have encountered a kind of slight ‘paralysis’. My body is tight and stiff since. I take magnesium, turmeric, glucosamine, vit c, d and calcium. My L5 disc has now herniated and pressing on my sciatic nerve giving me great pain every day. It changes all the time but I’m trying everything and everyone for help. I believe the chemo ‘docetaxel’ especially sent me off into this after all I’ve been through bc now this. But I swim regularly, have therapies, and try not to overdue to much.
I am interested to hear how others manage nerve pain and what they do and taje as well as dose and at what times at night/day.
Just got to keep tough! Xx
