Folfox & Leg Pain

Postby irish » Thu May 10, 2007 8:51 am

Just wondered if any one has experience Leg cramps or Leg pain while getting Folfox? I am on my second treatment and legs are very sore - even hurts to walk sometimes.

Mine don't cramp but both of my legs - calf area -are sore for tues and Wed (I ahve chemo MOn and get disconnected on wed). It feels like I have walked miles - when in reality I have been laying around. I have found a hot bath helps them

I have had 10 rounds of Folfox, and my legs are sore too. Going up stairs makes me feel like I'm about 80 years old.

:) Thank you for your input...The nurses made me feel nuts :roll: when I told them about the pain and other side effects that I am having...The soreness in my legs were making me feel like an old lady when walking..
