Are back pain spasms normal after first chemo treatment?

I'm usually fine the day of and the day after, but on the 3rd day, I get bone like pain that shoots to different areas of my body. They fet so strong that they literally wind me. This goes on for two days, then it starts to subside just in time to start over.

Did you take Claritin?

No, I have not tried that

I would take Claritin after treatments and it’s supposed to help with the pain.

I take Claritin every morning to prevent any pain it works great!

Thank i will definitely try it

My first round was awful and the bone pain was majorly debilitating, so I took Claritin for a few days. I am not sure it helped that much. After round four, I had intense itching on my arms, torso, and legs. and my team put me on Zyrtec full time until chemo ended. It took the itching away.

I handle the chemo just fine, but the Claritin does nothing for me. I ache for days. Maybe I’ll try Zyrtec!

Back pain after chemotherapy and immunotherapy can happen as treatments affect the body in different ways. This type of discomfort is something many people experience, but it's always important to let your medical team know about new or intense pain so they can help determine the best way to manage it. Your care team has likely seen this before and can provide guidance specific to your treatment plan and situation.
