I've finished chemo x 6 (TCH) still on Herceptin till April. Just finished 25 Rads and next week is bilateral nipple sparing mastectomy with diep flap. I'm nervous :( After chemo (August) I developed incredible muscle pain and weekness in my lower back, hips and a dreadful sciatica on left side that I'm having difficulty shaking off. Don't know how I'm going to cope with surgery and all this pain. How I'm going to get around afterwards. I'm 50 and even my 92 yo Mother gets around better than I do! She's amazing.
I hate going to bed atm and even sitting on the lounge and getting up after 10 min is painful. My muscles feel poisoned. Voltaren helps but Chiro said take 1 magnesium am and early PM as well as 1 Panadol osteo and 1 neurofen 3 times a day for 4 days then try and have 3 days without for a break. And continue the cycle until necessary. Continuing the magnesium. I'm aching all the time and doesn't let up and my glutes are on fire. Seeing exercise physiologist atm also but not really helping the situation. I think it's the herceptin and being forced into menopause I guess?
