I can't thank you enough for "listening".   My cancer is hormone negative.  I will get more info on the information you gave me.  thanks so much!

It has been 4.5 months since my radiation and chemo have finished.  I have had several great follow-up visits and at each visit talk to my oncologist about crippling joint pain.  I was placed on Lucera and was also on Celebrex but neither have put a dent in the pain.  I stopped them both with the input from my doctor. The pain comes usually in the early evening or when I stop for periods of time to "relax".  I am prety good if I keep going all day--work fulltime.   I am 50 years old but at times feel 100 from the pain in my joints.  My oncologist believes that this is a side effect from the taxol and will have to work its way out of my system.  I try to workout regularly at the Wellness Center (early morning) and can do a great spinning routine for 60 minutes or the elyptical for 60 without pain.  I stretch constantly but nothing seems to help.  Is there anyone out there who has this pain?  It is beginning to get me down mentally.   Advil, hydrocodone--nothing helps.
