Aching legs and feet

No I don't take statins. I was prescribed Amitryptiline when I had shingles across the base of my spine and buttock shortly after the chemo finished and I came off the anti virals I had prescribed while on chemo.. It didn't help a great deal, but maybe I didn't take it for long enough.

The pains are intermittent. At this very moment I have no pain at all but that could change by this evening and in the night.

The only meds I am currently on are eye drops for glaucoma.

I'm another who had chemo and I also take statins my legs ache especially when I have been sat like you ,I take Amytryptalline at night for nerve pain .

Do you take statins? They can cause horrendous leg/muscle aches. Different statins can affect people differently.

Thank you dragonfly. I will try more regular doses of paracetamol. Sitting does make it worse. But I am mostly on my feet all day. It has got worse over the last 3 months.

I will mention it at my next telephone cancer check up. I would love a scan or MRI to check it out. My best friend died of bone cancer so of course that is in my mind which I can't help worrying about. But the consultant who rings me quarterly I know will not countenance one. Still I will ask for her opinion.

I too have had chemo which gave me peripheral neuropathy. I suffer from aching legs and take paracetamol regularly which helps. Mine are worse after I have been sitting for a while so try to keep moving. Walking seems to help.
