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.
