A Pain in ....the fingernails!

I completely understand how you're feeling, as I went through all of the same side effects with the docetaxel. None of the doctors were able to do anything for the horrible pain I had in my fingers, and I was going to bed holding ice packs just to try and get to sleep. I used dark nail polish and kept them short. The fingernails looked as though despite all that I wouldn't lose them, but probably a month after chemo had finished one by one they all came off. I know it sounds bad, and it is frustrating, but they grew back really fast. They're still a bit brittle so I keep them short, but I was able to file out the ridges  and buff them and they look like normal. I found Tramal SR 50 tablets helped with the body aches - I had those really really badly. I also slept with 2 body pillows (you can get them pretty cheaply from target), putting one between my knees whilst sleeping on my side, and putting one under my head that I could kind of cuddle. Took the pressure off my hips.  I really hope you find something that works for you! You're doing so well, all the best x
