I had all over bone pain from day one but extreme bone pain on the 3rd day. I took one Claritin and a couple of ibuprofen. Then ibuprofen only for the rest of the day. I also rested a lot. I didn’t get sick to my stomach, but did have to take extra vitamin D-3. This was for six months. I am now on Keytruda forever….
