Since having the muscle put back in my neck 3 days ago my other shoulder hurts and my knees hurt as well. Is this normal and I feel more fatigued as well . Is this normal

     Hello yumyum. I am not sure what chemo you are on but I got painful knees when I was on Paclitaxel (Taxol). This was usually in the first few days after each treatment cycle but then subsided. I found putting a hot water bottle on my knees helped a lot as did paracetamol. Hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your treatment.
