I had NHL too. Back pain was one of my early symptoms. It felt like tight muscles. It eventually got better after chemo.

I hear you and deeply sympathize with you. I have been in remission for about 4 years. Prior to that I had a Bone Marrow Transplant, in addition to Chemo and Radiation. The main thing I have is I'm tired a lot, but I find when I work out more I can build up my strength. Take one day at a time and pray to G-d. Hoping each day brings you more strength and happiness.

I have had a bad back for as long as I can remember, before lymphoma I was able to keep my core strong which reduced the pain to almost nothing. After chemo my back pain is almost debilitating and I am on pain meds to off set it. Since chemo I have not been able to build up any muscle to strengthen my core. I also had 3 strokes during the chemo treatment period so I am not able to take ibuprofen. Pain management drs said some of the pain is due to the strokes, not just the bad back. FYI, I 100% recovered very fast from the strokes.
I have been in remission for 5 yrs now and nothing has gotten better.
I know I am done at around 6pm every night. Just the new me.
