the pattern repeated for me, usually the pain kicked in 2 or 3 days after the infusion, then I was in pain for 5-10 days or longer with various pain levels, when I was hurting the most, sometimes during the night, I took oxycodone, the pain lasted longer as the cycles added up-
but everyone's experience is different, I was keeping a journal about my symptoms, pain medication, pain level....you have the power to see it through like me and many others-

i fortunately had an oncologist who wasn't hesitant to give me pain meds...he gave me oxycodone and even 5 mg morphine ...he started me on tramadol (i can't take anything with tylenol in it so tramadol was obvious starting drug which for me personally was no different relief than taking 4 naproxen which you're not supposed to do lol) along with oxy and then morphine and i took each based on level of pain on any given day.. like i said in another thread once they added Neulasta to the mix and i'd get the headache from hell it took the morphine to take the edge off...there's no reason to suffer...if you're in pain tell doc you need better pain control and if its interfering with sleep tell them so...you have to advocate for yourself..

@jeanknoll986 Treatment that interferes with sleep is the worst. Sleep is one of the few activities I'd say is at the top of my list of favorite activities. I know that sounds rather odd but I love restful sleep when it comes.

@charlotte12 and @mommacandy both provided advice and support. When do you next meet with your oncologist so you can discuss the join and muscle pain you experienced?

I also had pretty intense joint pain after chemo treatments which I wasn't expecting at all. After the first treatment I was given low dose steroids to take for 4-5 days after each treatment and it helped somewhat. I also used NSAID's and Tylenol with the steroids. I hope you get some relief!!
