    My mother (90) has been on Zelboraf for 8 months with great results.  The only problem we are having now is severe joint pain in the leg with the melanoma.  This is keeping her from moving around and staying active.  We have been trying to handle the pain with over the counters but will be starting narcotics today.  Any other suggestions and has this pain come and go for anyone on Zelboraf?

    Thanks.
