Hi Bev I had the same problem ok for the first two days then the pain started in my joints specifically knees and ankles. It lasted about 4 days. I did need painkillers. I avoided coffee spicy food and alcohol for a few days before treatment and until the pain went. Also drink plenty of water. If it persists and is too painful tell your doctor and they may be able to reduce the dose. Good luck

Hi river thank you for the advice not liking the idea of having to  cut back on my 3 favorite things though :-( but will definitely try this before my next session no pain no gain as they say lol  :-) 

Thank you jane never thought about ringing them lack of sleep probably I rang my hospital on sunday as was getting very down and they advised me what to take under control now apart from a little blip tonight
