bone pain while on tx

  Has anybody experienced bone pain around wk 6 or 7? The pain comes and goes. when it comes I try to get comfortable. No avail. So I breath deep and tell it to go away. What did you do for bone pain?

[spectda]

Bone pain on the ocassion that people do experience it is usually from taking neupogen or occasionally procrit since they stimulate bone marrow to produce white and red blood cells. Are you on one of those?

I believe some people do experience joint and muscle pain from interferon, personally I have had hip and lower back pain during tx that has come and gone and at times is fairly uncomfortable. Maybe someone else has had a different experience though.

Me thinks Spectda nailed it on the head.  But at least finally you might be getting some sides...you were looking forward to that and you know it  ;)

I had pretty intense joint pain that came and went for the first 12 weeks.  In fact within 7 hours of my first shot, it was cRazY.  Somedays I'd be on all fours just trying to get through the next 5 minutes.  Now it's more achey (achy) like you would think you'd feel with the flu.  Bonus my ears still ring .....lol.  Oh well better than dying of liver failure !!

Good luck, you had a good run w/o sx.  I hope it goes away soon.

Well no procrit or neuprogen.  But my wbc does go up and down. so maybe  I have my own built in neuprogen/procritt which is causing me pain. I hate pain!!!

nygirl7. I was only wanting to know I was getting some drug that was not placebo.  But pain sux!  I got the rash too. not so bad, but pain sux!!! should I ask my doc for something for pain?

James10500 Yea I had a good run.  and thanks
