Bone pain with chemo: What helps?

Posted by crickard70 @crickard70, Mar 5, 2024

I have a high ca-19 so I am back on chemo. It is so painful, starts in knees and goes from head to toe. Have a morphine patch and it doesn’t help with the pain. Any suggestions?

Hi @aroyster78 Regular Claritin is the only form doctor’s suggest for the bone pain associated with Neulasta injections. The DM in Claritin-DM is a decongestant. That wouldn’t add any benefit for your sister.

Usually 1 Claritin daily, works really well. If it’s not enough your sister may need a pain medication to help. Has she talked with her doctor about prescribing a pain med?
