I had 6 months of chemotheraphy and finished my last one on March 22 of this year. I am in remission now. Lately I have been feeling alot of leg pains and even the bottoms of my heels hurt sometimes. Sitting and laying are okay but when I get up, it hurts to take those first few steps. This feeling never goes away. Does anyone else feel the same way? It nags me all day that maybe something else is wrong. I have talked to my oncologists and he seems to thing it might be lasting effects from chemo. But how long will it last? Can anyone ease my mind? Bumblebee Mon, 16 May 2005 00:00:00 GMT HI Leg pains are very common and may be as a result of the chemo or follicular lymphoma ,possibly inflamed achilles tendon and I too have this problem .Physio to soft tissues I've found useful and maybe cooling gel or gel pads which have been in the freezer to cool down inflamed tendons For info there is a Phase 3 trial called My-Vax ongoing in the States which uses own lymphoma cells specifically for follicular lymphoma Viz active immunotherapy compared with Rituxan passive immunotherapy.You have not indicated type of chemo you've been taking but I hope it's beneficial and that you are now feeling much better Stay positive Best wishes Mike D.
