Back Pain
Hi all,
I have had on and off mild pain in my mid-lower back throughout chemo. Sometimes I am very aware of it, other times I feel little to no pain. Feels like there is a muscular component to it...
I was pretty wiped out after my kast chemo and could mot walk much more than 20 steps without collapsing for about good 2 weeks but then slowly started to improve.
I am now 1 month post laat chemo session (well 2 days short of 1 month) and today for the first time felt energetic and funny how it took me.good 10-15min to reguster that the weird sensation I was having was me in fact having energy and wanting to move about... Happy to say most of the Chemo and Neulasta related pain is finaly gone.
I would definitely, in your place, try some massage or even accupuncture (Maybe your Oncologist could refer you to someone) to see if you can ease the pain a bit...
Hospital I was having Chemo at was not very great at encouraging these treatments or referring but where I have just been transferred to for radiation are great and have given me details of a centre nearby that specialises in dealing with women dealong with BC therapies so I plan to go for it full on during my 9 weeks of undergoing radiation...
Wishing you all the best
