Does TDM1 infusion cause joint pain and shoulder pain as side effects?

Joint and shoulder pain can indeed be side effects of TDM1 treatment, and these symptoms are experienced by some patients receiving this therapy. It's encouraging that your oncologist has provided guidance on managing the pain with over-the-counter options, and many in the community find it helpful to share their experiences with managing treatment-related discomfort and what strategies have worked for them.

I was told to take Claritin and I do exercises for my shoulders and arms. I started with a physical therapist before my surgery and continue to do them. Really helps. I do them daily no matter how crappy I feel. I think it has helped my shoulder not seize up. Gabapentin works for the neuropathy. Ask your dr. It’s worth it!

Thanks Denise, yes I did take Gabapentin during my neo adjuvant therapy and I am doing physio as well - btw, is the Claritin for excessive tears! I know they call it dry eye -

It’s for the joint pain. Don’t ask me why but it works! I use regular visible red eye solution for my weepy eyes. Two or sometimes three times a day. It’s a miracle. Good luck.

I have joint pain from my blocker. I’m taking 2 Tumeric tablets and 1 Tripplet Joint that I get from Costco and I’m not in pain at all when I take it which is 99% of the time. 1% pain because I have run out

Gabapentin is a god saver

Bioastin helps tremendously with joint pain for me- 12mg daily.
