Is Avastin causing pain in arms?

Posted by charlotte12 @charlotte12, 1 day ago

I had my 2nd infusion of Bevacizumab or Avastin. I noticed changes in my left arm. The arm started hurting when trying to lift above 90 degrees. The right upper arm is also sending out pain in intervals. I did not cause any injury to both arms. I'm not lifting or moving any items over 2 or 3 pounds. Did anyone on Avastin experience similiar issues. I had both
infusions on my left arm. Maybe I should use the right arm for the next infusion?
