pain during & after chemo for limphoma

[chuchi1]

I need to know what is wrong? how do I  stop the pain?  I had chemo for Limphoma, and I started to get massive body aches, my right hand started to get numb and I was told that after the chemo it would be over. But is not, I finished chemo July of 2009 and I am still in pain, my hand is so bad I have to keep it down, because it gets numb constantly, I told my doctor and she said that it has nothing to do with the chemo. I bearly sleep and I am tired all the time.

The only thing I can think of would be nerve ending damage which can happen while having treatment. Ask your doctor about that. I had it and it is not nice.

which chemo did you get? There definitely is neuropathy that can result from chemo.

E.g., for lymphoma, did you have thalidomide?

Please have your hand checked for carpal tunnel.
