Over the last week or two I have been battling pain that radiates down my left leg. I have never had sciatica, but I think that is what I have now. I have been taking ibuprofen which helps a little bit. I am currently on Folfox and Avastin. Does anyone know if Folfox can cause sciatic pain? I found a post by Bev G which says that her onc didn't want to put her on Folfox for that very reason. (She had disc issues with her back). I have a herniated disc, but up until the last two weeks it had never caused me any pain. It had caused numbness down the S-1 nerve root which led to my left calf muscle shrinking.
The sciatic pain is worse than any other pain I have had from colon cancer.
