Lung cancer with joints and muscles sore.

Posted by richcolleen @richcolleen, Apr 10, 2020

I have stage 4 lung cancer which has spread before caught. What I’m wondering if anyone has problems with all joints sore? I was on chemo and immune therapy 8 months and since (I quit chemo due to very sick days) been on just immune therapy and felt pretty good until the last week.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

Ended up calling and they will be running extra test. My joints -(fingers-wrist - arms-Back -neck- breast Legs-) ache all the time know. Taken 400 mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours which help. Praying they can do something for this.

@shortshot80 Hi Nancy:

I was thinking about you and wondering if you had your ultrasound yet. I hope you are still pain-free.

I am also have joint pain and sore joints... however, oncologist sluffs it off and tells me to contact my family doctor and when I mentioned it again to his nurse.. she says that it is not related to cancer or cancer treatments... I don't believe this as I did not start getting this joint pain till several months after immunotherapy started. I was on nivolumab up till two months ago ... I had 6 infusions to that date... infusions cancelled due to a high rise in covid patients at our local hospital ... the oncologist says it it not the risk of going to the hospital .. he told me I would have 0% chance of survival if I get the virus... not sure why he feels that way.. yes.. I do have stage 4 lung cancer but have no breathing issues and am usually active.. no shortness of breath.. etc.. just had a CAT scan on May 22nd of the Chest.. will get results on June 3rd.. hoping that not getting my infusions did not bring me back to square one with my cancer 🙁
