I have just started treatment for Melanoma the treatment is Pembro I now fine I have back pain that is keeping me awake at night and paracetamol isn’t really working for me what else can I use
I'm not a nurse but I've been a melanoma patient for many years. I'm replying to you as the nurses won't be back until tomorrow & I think you need to contact your treatment team asap to report your back pain. They will tell you what pain relief you can take but they may also want to call you in to investigate the cause of your back pain. Hopefully it's not melanoma related but it's always best to report any unusual or new symptoms as quickly as possible.
Good luck and I hope your pain is resolved & your treatment goes well.
