During chemo I struggled a lot with feeling fatigued, but had no real issues with muscle fatigue specifically. Now that chemo is almost 2 months behind me, I've noticed my thigh muscles seem increasingly weak and tired. It's like that feeling you get in your legs right after a long run or bike ride but it's all day, every day. I was trying to get back into the groove of regular exercise by riding our recumbent bike, but it's getting harder and harder to do because my leg muscles are so fatigued. Even squatting or walking upstairs makes me sometimes feel like my legs are going to give out.
Has anyone else had this problem post-chemo and, if so, did you find anything that helped make it better? How long did it take to go away? Honestly, I'm not sure if I should keep trying to ride the bike or if this is making the problem worse. I want to exercise because I know it helps lower recurrence rates but this is ridiculous.
