Why Having Stiffness In Knee With Swelling In Feet After Injection To Increase WBC Count?
I had my 2nd treatment of chemo, taxol/carboplatin, the following day had shot to increase white blood cell count, ten days later, i woke up with a stiff left knee which feels like dead weight with occasional twitching or spasm and i am also on lovanox and my right foot swells up and it is very very sensitive to touch right now, what could be my issue?

Hello,
Sometimes you have these side effects because of chemotherapy. If you can walk 1 to 1.5 miles a day comfortably please go ahead with that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Abdullah
