Has anyone experienced terrible leg, feet and hip pain since treatment? It has been over a year since I completed chemo and radiation and the pain is getting worse.

Yes, my pain has been in my feet. Especially in my toes. Cramping, aching... I feel like I need to stretch my feet and legs, especially at night. It's been a year since chemo and radiation. I think the hormone blocker tamoxifen is the culprit....

I'm a Triple Negative Breast Cancer survivor. Last Chemo in July 2010. Last Radiation 11/17/2010. Still have bad pain, neuropathy in my hands, feet, legs & hip etc.. Best wishes to you to get any pain control.

Oh yes. I wish I could tell you it will disappear but my last chemo was in December of 2024 and I still have it. I am on exemestane and my onco told me contributed to the pain. Sometimes Alene or Claritin help, but not always. I hope you find some relief.

Yes, i experienced sharp pain but it was at the joints of the palm, feet and knee cap when i am on the week 5 of my radiation. Sometimes i felt the pain when i ifirst stepped down from my bed or after a cinema show. My radiologist told me that it was not due to the radiation treatment rather it was due to monopause. When monopause, estrogen level is very low and the body is not ready and is adjusting. He advised that the pain will goes away about half a year or so. So do not worry too much.
He advised that Glucosamine will not ease the pain away but it still helps to protect the joints. Normal panadol will ease the pain.
