hope4life Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 This may sound really strange, but mom started chemo (carbo/gemzar) last week. One buttock is now really sore. Would this be a side effect from the chemo? Anyone else have this? She is not exercising vigorously so I do not think it's from any injury. Thanks for the help!

Carolyn Cruickshanks Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 My dad has also had one chemo treatment. Instead of buttock pain his is low back pain. Sounds like we both have a long road ahead. Keep the faith!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikez Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Oh yes. I have been having buttock pain for 3 months now. That is well into my chemo stuff. It also seems to snub its nose at pain killers as well. If it is a side effect I wish I knew what or why its doing it. This topic will be number one when I meet with new Onco team. Good luck.

Dollfinn Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I did not find butt pain such a problem, but I was reading Mikes profile, I have just been given LYRICA for neuropathy. I didnt fill thr RX yet but the pain in my legs put me back out of work . It feels like I'm walking on rocks all the time. Has anyone tried LYRICA? and........does it work? Hope this note finds everyone relaxing after lots of Turkey. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikez Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I promised to post here if i found out something new. Well new team is not completly formed enough has been there to put me back on Tarciva.. the back pain started out with numbness right at tail bone. then when i sat, stood, walked or layed on my left side everything felt like muscle pain that kust would not go away... it seem's tail bone would not relieve with pain killer, but remainder would. the remainder would go away with killers. turns out that pain was from infection pain caused by diareah vs impacted bowel war. oh yeah bladder control problems mixed in didn't help. Back for bone scan on 23rd. Know for a fact that old team and new team actually spoke to each other. makes a guy feel good. God Bless VA so far. good luck on ya all......
