Joint and bone pain during breast cancer treatment is unfortunately common and can really impact daily activities. There are several approaches that may help, including gentle exercises like walking or swimming, heat and cold therapy, physical therapy, and discussing pain management options with your healthcare team - they can provide personalized strategies based on your specific treatment plan and medical history.

I was told aleve or ibuprofen. They also told me I could take THC gummies. I could barely walk due to chemo and growth booster shot

My doctor didn’t want Aleve or Ibuprofen bec they can cause bleeding. Took Acetaminophen and Tramadol which was ordered after surgery. I didn’t use it for post op pain but it came handy after chemo. They might have ordered something strong for you after surgery? What they missed to tell me is to take Claritin daily for 5 days starting chemo day. It’s supposed to help w pain.

Yes I got it but it shows I have osteoarthritis in my shoulders, knees, hips, and ankles, hands, and feet. I get the worst cramming in my hands and feet. I'm on gabapintine 300mg 3x a days I also take muscle relaxer 3x a day I take 10mg instant and 13,9mg of oxymoron 2x a day it helps but nothing that takes it all away. I am going to get my mmj card again so I can get back on the RSO oil initials stand for Rick Simpson Oil I Don't need pain mess then that alone Takes my pain away.
