Sorry for late reply, my first infusion was Jan 23. Not much nausea, however, I have almost unbearable bone pain. I have Degenerative Disc Disease, so I'm wondering if the DDD has made the side affect of bone pain worse than usual. The oncologist prescribed 3 days of steroids and some oxycodone 5 for break through pain. I am hoping this helps. I have never experienced pain 9/10 before. I was prepared to have severe nausea, but was unaware of the possibility of severe bone pain. Ice packs on my legs have provided some relief. I have also used heat, however, cold helps me more. I welcome any suggestions to help with deep bone pain from Chemo. Thanks

@carmenc1955 I'm hoping too that the steroids and oxycodone helps with the pain. Most of us think of nausea when you get chemotherapy but not the bone pain that you are experiencing. I'm going to search through Mayo Clinic Connect and see if any of our members have experienced this and can give you some suggestions.

Hi. I had bone pain for two of the six cycles of chemo after the second cycle it stopped. I took Claritin (recommended by md) before and a couple of days after fir pine pain and that helped. Am hoping yours goes away soon as well

When I was on chemo I always took a Claritin pill the night before treatment and continued it for 4 days afterwards. My nurse at the infusion center told me to do this. It helped greatly with the bone pain. Hope this helps.
