jointwnd muscle pain : Nilotinib

Categories:

Hi all,

i have bad joint and muscle pain since couple of days. its more after taking the nilotinib(mornings and evenings).

also, I am feeling very weak and fatigued. Its almost the same pain i experienced before diagnosis.

I am bit worried. please share your thoughts

How long have you been on Tasigna and what/when was your last PCR? The symptoms you are experiencing are common of all TKI. I am on Tasigna and I have tender joints sometimes but no pain as such. I’ve been on 600mg for 26 months. I do get the odd minor electric shock now and again (best way to describe it)

Hi Alex

Its been 18 months now! Btw is it ok to drink Green tea when on Nilotnib?

Ok cool. Yeah Green Tea is fine I drink it occasionally. Just avoid what the info leaflet says ie Grapefruit.
