hi

i had it as part of my treatment and hated it, the achy bones were a problem for me also. I wasn’t allowed paracetamol in case it masked a temp but was given dihydrocodein instead which worked a treat, only needed it for a couple of days each time. Might be worth asking for an alternative pain killer.

Thanks for the reply!

Oh joy! 

Yeah I'm not allowed pain killers because of the same reason, but I might mention codeine to my specialist, see if they think it's something I could have.

I'm trying hot water bottles at the moment but they aren't doing much.

Did you have any other symptoms from the injections?

I'm feeling particularly shattered but wondering if that's also just the cumulative effect of the chemo too.

Thanks again

All the best

hi

I tried the hot water bottle, didn’t work for me either. I think all my other symptoms were the effect of chemo. I got much more fatigued, and I get out of breath walking. Up stairs for example so now I’m done I’m going to increase my exercise to try and improve that. 

Hope you get some painkillers sorted, and I’m here if you need a chat.
