Muscle and joint pain are commonly reported side effects of Herceptin treatment, so you're not alone in experiencing these symptoms. Many patients in the HER2+ community have shared similar experiences with aches, weakness, and joint discomfort during their infusion cycles, and connecting with others who understand can be really helpful for managing these challenges.
