Trying to sleep with horrible joint pain from chemo.

Hello,

Does anyone have any good advice on how to keep pain manageable without the use of opioids for pain relief. I feel like everytime I walk my legs are going to shatter. I couldn’t even sleep. I had my first infusion of chemo Monday. Overnight the pain came on and its making me feel so miserable. I am going to try to acetaminophen arthritis 8 hour. I don’t know how well that is going to work and I don’t know how much soaking in a hot bathtub would do. I got about 2 hours of sleep and still have doctors appointments to get to today. Any advice is worth listening to. The reason I don’t want to be I straight for the opioid is because of the large amount of meds I’m on and I have been having chest pain and heart palpitations and taking gabapentin for nerve pain. My body is all over the place. 🙁
