Do Others Experience Back Pain During Maintenance Chemo (Revlimed)? And If So Have You Found Ways To Manage The Pain?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am currently on maintenance chemo after a stem cell transplant (Revlimed 10 mg…3 weeks on, one week off). Around the beginning of the 3rd week, I experience severe back pain…the location of which moves around. I’ve tried muscle relaxants but they don’t work. Can anyone offer input?

Hi there. I'm a caregiver to my mom; she is currently on a Revlimid and Dexamethasone protocol. She has had strong side effects to many oral pain management options, so we have been trying topical NSAIDs (currently using Aleve-X), Palmer's cocoa butter lotion (great for neuropathy), and prescription-strength lidocaine 5% patches every 12 hours for her back pain. However, she still struggles with the pain, so any other input would be appreciated for me as well!
