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 can definitely understand you worrying as ir is all.so frustrating and full of uncertainty but honestly if the scans were clear ore Chemo no way was cancer slreading during chemo...
It is possible that it is just muscular or nerve type pain. I did notnhave back pain as such that I can attribute to chemo as I suffered from back pain before chemo somon that account hard to distinguish.
But I definitely did develop pain in the shoulderblade as well as base of the neck I did not have prior to chemo (but then I attribute that to being housebound and in bed or on the sofa way too long so in weirdly uncomfortable.positions too long with lack of decent movement).
With all the therapies and tortures we have been through with chemo it is not impossible to have some unusual pain but please do not worry too much. If it persists after chemo has ended by a fair few weeks I would invertigate but witj chemo and lack of activity I trully would suspect it to be more muscular than anything else....
I too developed weird pains related to chemo and neulasta injections that Oncologist had never heard off or seen in any literature and some ocassionaly still.oresent themselves now 3.5 weeks post end of chemo but not as intense and not as frequent...
Just hang in there and keep on monitoring it but until active treatmwnt is well and trully.over do not fret as it is a hard toxic process so if the body rebels and a weird or unusual twinge or pain happens it could just be body's way of.coping with this whole.unnatural mess we have to get through
Hugs
