CPA is right....if you mean neulasta it can cause REALLY BAD bone pain. It doesn't happen to everyone...but most get it. I know when I had the neulasta it was AWFUL. I had severe pain my my bones, legs, knees and you name it. It was so bad once...I thought I would never take the neulasta again. But to keep my white count up I did it anyway. I hope things get better for you.
Everyone reacts differently to chemo...so its not always easy to tell. It can be a combination of your chemo, neulasta, and any other meds you might be on. Its so hard to pin point these things. I can certainly understand how frustrating and worrisome it might be. I had taxotere in my chemo regimen and had painful knee caps. Now that I am off the chemo...its gone. Not sure if that helps or not? Hang in there...hopefully someone will have a answer for you.
