Does anyone have long lasting bone pain from Neulasta?

The pain comes and goes but it feels exactly the same as the Neulasta pain and it is in the same places, my right femur and my left humerus.

    What do you mean lasting pain?  How long ago did you have the shot?  My pain lasted the entire chemo period and stopped a month after the chemo ended.  During chemo, I found flexiril helped.  The pain was horrible for the entire 4 months.

    Andrea, my oncologist advised Claritin for Neulasta bone pain too.  You can buy it at Costco (loratadine) very cheap.  I started one every morning a couple of days before chemo and kept taking it for two weeks after.  It truly helped.

    Just to experiment, I didn't take it for one of the chemo rounds, and regretted it.  The bone pain was like a toothache, but in a variety of bones.  My nose, back, and one hip (weird, I know) hurt a lot.  My back felt like something was drilling into it, and my oncologist prescribed pain meds so I could get some sleep.  When chemo ended the pain ended too.

    I hope this helps.  Please PM me if I can answer anything specific.
