Delayed SE from Neulasta?

susan13

It's 8 days after my Neulasta shot, so I'm thinking it can't be the shot?

My legs ache terribly, every inch of them.  Started last nite, but it went away after I took some tylenol.

Now it's back again.  Could it be a delayed effect from the Neulasta?  I really didn't get any other bone bain or side effects from the Neulasta in the few days after I got it, but mabye a headache.

Hello Sue.  I had my first Neulasta shot on a Thursday and they warned me that I might be in bed for the whole weekend.  I didn't get pain until the following Thursday.  I couldn't hardly walk the pain was so bad in my lower back and legs.  I had to take tylenol every 4 hours just to walk to the bathroom and back.  The next day my knees hurt but that was it.  I was surprised the pain didn't start til a week later but thats how my body handled it.  The good news is that I never had pain that bad again.  I took Neulasta for all 4 txs and only had the horrible pain for the first one.  Good luck to you.

God Bless,

Tonya

Yes and it can last all the way to your next TX. Claritian helps but you take it for four days starting with the day of TX.  Also reading above posts they say it helps to get it in your stomache. I also asked for some pain relief and found Tylenol#3 worked really well for this type of pain. I know its painful but just remember its keeping or trying to keep your counts up. Without I would have been hospitilized for my TX but it kept me above the line. So hang tough it will be over before you know it. And don't be afraid to ask for some pain relief if you feel you need it.

Sue-

I am around 5 days from my Neulasta injection- found a little pain in my upper back.  But I honestly think my pain is from sitting on the computer searching for information.   My stomach has not been feeling that great over the past few days.   Today is the first day I have felt like my ole self.

Getting ready for the next round of AC.. yuck.... How long will it be before I notice if my tumor is shrinking?

Feel better everyone.
