My husband has had chemotherapy for DLBCL and has now been in remission for 1.5 months. Is it normal that he is having a lot of muscle pain in shoulders and upper arms? It is waking him up at night. Pain level is between 4 and 6 out of 10. He is also seeing a physiotherapist to regain his muscle strength.
Here if the muscle pain is due to his present medical history or treatment then it's difficult to cure completely. When I have patient like this I keep them. On frequent use of hot and cold pack.  And will check with their doctor (oncologist)  in a safe way is there any medication can be given.  Apart from this he is already under physio so I am sure based on his current situation Physiotherapist will also be making him do some sort of muscle tonning,  stretching and strengthening exercises.  So continue with that.  Take care.
