normally chemo itself doesn't' cause bone pain but if you are getting a shot the next day for your white blood cells that can cause bone pain. the shot is Neulasta.
taking Claritin and Tylenol can help alleviate the pain. some also add Omeprazole, a reflux medication.
ask your doctor, he/she can't help if they don't know what's going on.

I spoke to the doctor yesterday, they said that bone pain is common. The bone marrow is trying to push out white blood cells & that's what is causing the pain.I'm not getting shots for white blood cells. I felt like I slept for quite awhile last night, but was only an hour. Then tossed & turned rest of the night. So far today I have had very little bone pain & I'm "dreaming" of a good nights sleep.
I've had a not so pleasant experience with one of my chemo drugs, Carboplatin. It makes me feel like I'm burning up & want to rip my clothes off. :) They have decided I need an extra dose of steroids prior to my chemo. So now, 12 & 6 hours before chemo, I have to take 3 pills. For someone who's never had any health issues, I'm sure having them now. :)

I had very bad bone pain also. My reaction to Chemo was much like yours except the burning up. I did have a reaction to the taxol and had to have it administered slowly. My Dr gave me oxycodon for pain and it helped tremendously. I didn't want to take too much of it, so I took it only at night to sleep. I suggest asking your Dr about it and see how he feels. Hope you are doing better

Yes I am on carboplatin and taxol. I get awful bone pain sometimes but I have so much arthritis too. My Doc office wrote it off to me feeling better and starting to do too much. I am glad to hear that your Doc.said it can cause bone pain. After last weeks session of carbo I felt sick like I had the flu and every bone in my body ached. I thought it could be the chemo. Also carbo causes lots of stomach issues with me- nausea,constipaton. The steroids will keep me from sleeping for the first nite.

When I was on carbo/taxol about the third day I would ache so bad. I took my pain pills, used heating pads around the clock and rubbed my aching areas. I also took miralax and stool softeners for constipation. Sleeping was difficult unless I took my pain meds . Fortunately, it goes away and is just a memory for me now! Wish you well. Missy

Thank you for all the nice messages of support. I'm sorry anyone has to endure any of this, but it is nice to know that it is only temporary & as long as we stay strong we can get thru this. We are women & we can endure so much more!! Hugs to everyone!!

I also had lower back and foot pain. I have pain medication if I need it but Cymbalta is a pain medication and anti depressant too. It has worked well for me. It gets better though.
