Leg and Body Pain Not Due to TX
My pain is not due to treatment. I had it before treatment. I was trying to find out what was causing the leg pain when I got the HEP C diagnosis.
MY tx was stopped after the second injection.
I believe the pain was beginning to subside after the second injection, but I'm not sure it was the Pegasus or the Neupogin I was later given.
I was stopped after my physician freaked with my very low WBC and very Low neutrophils.
I really think what happened is I was taking a blood pressure pill that can cause neutropenia and that may have shot the treatment. What's even worse it seems now I didn't need the bp meds. I had only taken them for 1 1/2 months.
I also think the doctor may have overlooked the drop before I started the tx.
The verdict is still out they are waiting to see if my WBC returns to what is normal for me (which I think is kind of low on the charts but still within the normal range.)
The pain has returned as I only missed it the last week of treatment.
It's been coming up slowly and my neutrophils are coming back too.
If everythings works out with my blood I plan to tx again.
Please pray that when I get my blood tested tomorrow the numbers will be in the normal range.
This has been an awful experience with the doctors, but it's been getting better. I've now got three who are watching my case due to the problems I've had.
Can hep C cause a low WBC all by itself?
Can I please get some feedback?
Gratefully,

I have Hep C and will be getting a liver biopsy soon. However, the leg pain is unbearable, it feels
likeit is deep in my leg, when I
cough, the pain grips my leg and sometimes both legs. I am not sure if the leg pain is a
symptom of the Hep C. Idid get an xray of my back but did not get the results back yet.
My back does not hurt at all.Carolee
