Mom diagnosed with ovarian cancer severe leg pain. Relief ideas?

Hi - my mother-in-law is on round 2 of chemo for endometrial cancer and had leg pain after first treatment so dr recommended 24 hr regular claritin. As a histamine blocker it’s supposed to alleviate the bone pain from the chemo drugs. She takes it starting on the day of infusion and for 4 days afterward. Still has some pain but not as bad as first round. Can I ask what nerve pain blocker they prescribed for your mom? Thanks and good luck 🍀

Hello I had chemo fir endometrial cancer and also had bone pain with the chemo fir two of the five cycles and then it went away. Was able to manage it with Claritan the day before and a couple of days after. Hope it goes away fir your mom in law also. Also used a heating pad which helped

They prescribed Gabapentin and she is taking it now. She is 4 days post first infusion and her leg pain is all but gone at the moment. It is all related to the fluid buildup and cancer on the same side ovary we presume. So far so good.
