Pain Avastin Costochondritis

You don't share a lot of information about your situation - so your question is difficult to answer. That being said - can I assume that your Doctor explained the side effects of taking Avastin? There is an increased chance of blood clots while taking Avastin and I developed a blood clot in my decending aorta. It did not create a life threatening situation, but because of this you need to say something to your doctor about this pain. A CT Scan can determine if this is a problem. I hope that this encourages you to speak with your health care provider.

Always, always tell your doctor about anything like this. It's the only way they can monitor you properly for side effects. I just started Avastin and am on the lookout for anything unusual and would not hesitate to call the doctor.
