Hi,

I finished my initial 6th BCG treatment on 4th March. I breezed through it, little or no side effects. Then approximately 10 days later I developed muscle aches everywhere in my body. Neck, upper and lower back, arms, thighs and calves. In the morning I wake up in pain and find it difficult to get out of bed. I then take paracetamol and/or ibuprofen which takes the pain away and allows me to function. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and I take painkillers to allow me to get back to sleep. I feel tired constantly, if I manage to cut the grass, which takes about 20 mins I want to lay down and sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? My joints are ok and I have no pain in my bladder. Just wondering if I can expect the pain to recede shortly, I've been like this for 3 weeks.

Hope someone can give me some help, I do realise its a recognised side effect but I can't seem to find any info on how long I can expect it to last.
