severe muscle cramps..chemo or lupron

Bravemama34 · January 2017

hi everyone, i'm 34, active, mother of a 2 yo boy. i will get my last dose of TCH and have done 3 lupron shots. except hair loss, i had no other issues with the whole treatment until about 2 weeks ago.

now i have severe muscle cramps starting hip to my calves as soon as i walk a few steps. i ignored it but it doesnt go away. it is so very life limiting. if i go from bedroom to bathroom i have such severe cramps i have to sit. i cant do this witha 2 year old. is it the chemo or lupron? i have no idea.

we checked my mg which is 1.3 and low and oral supplements didnt bring it up so i will get a mg rider next mon w my chemo. i am just really really hoping this is due to chemo because what am i going to do when i start AI in a short few weeks.

any thoughts?
