Has anyone experienced upper back pain from 5FU? Jim had his second cycle of Erbitux, Carboplatin on Thursday and is still wearing the 5FU pump. He is experiencing the upper back pain that he had with his 1st cycle that the doctor felt must have been muscle pain. The pain is so bad he tosses and turns and nothing is helping. I think it must be from the 5FU as he didn't have this with Cisplatin.
