I believe that chemo (I took 5FU/Leucavorin) can cause arthritis. My herniated disc in my back got way worse during chemo, and my whole body started to ache. It was so bad that I couldn't move in the bed, get up in the morning, walk, get dressed without SEVERE PAIN. I started Celebrex 200mg/day (anti-inflammatory) and most of the pain is covered except the herniated disc. I'm in my early 30's and have always been super-active!
