My calve muscles bind up so bad now I can't walk a block! I'm not sure the cause. I ask my oncologist but he didn't seem to think it's cancer related but I've seen other colon cancer patients complain of same exact pain. I'm very confused.

Have you had surgery recently? or been bed ridden? Any recent changes in lifestyle? How is your energy?

@AlyceMarie‍ how are you holding up? I have calve muscle pain, but not sure what is causing it. Have you received any information on this?

Are you on any antidepressants? I was told they can cause leg cramping

My leg pain mystery is solved...and it's not a side effect of cancer. It's a circulation problem because of my smoking. My mother had same thing and underwent surgery for a by pass in her groin. (It didn't help her legs any after the surgery) I'm dealing with mine for now. This problem limits me on the chemo I can take also.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
