Hi, is anyone suffering from really achy legs? I’m taking codeine but was hoping there’s a more gentle solution? I have breast cancer and I am on my 4th chemo session.

Hello Essexkelly
I'm sorry to hear that you're currently going through treatment for breast cancer. I hope that you're being well supported by the health professionals involved in your care.
There are many side effects that can be caused by chemotherapy. It's certainly worth talking with your team about this issue with achy legs so that they can support you as best they can.
In the meantime, if you'd like to chat with one of our nurses, I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, on 0808 800 4040.
I hope that things settle and improve over the coming weeks Essexkelly. Let us know how you get on.
Best wishes,
Jenn
