I had some pain in my calves at chemo 2 and 3 (Folfox/Oxaliplatin) along with foot and hand cramping. I started taking 300 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid twice a day and it went away.

Clinical Trial (STIVARGA): Just started not sure what to expect but having alot of pain in his legs
about 8 years ago2 Comments-

Cheristina, I just started on Stivarga three weeks aog and I am on my first break (21 days on and a 7 day break). So far I have only had severe diarrhea that Ihave been able to control with prescription aiti-diarrheal, and fatigue. The list of potentila side effects is long and scary but most of that is because it is new (FDA approved Sept 28th). I will try and let you know if I get anything eles in the way of side effects. It is nice not having to go the the infusion center but the pliis are worth more than gold, I think. Good Luck
