What kind of bone pain did everyone experience with Neulasta?
2 days after I received the injection, I got the most severe pain throughout my whole torso!
I was expecting something like arthritic pain; but this was like a pulsating pain starting at the top of the torso and pulsating downward (almost like a heart beat). It felt like the alien was going to be popping out of me any second!
With each "pulse" it would work its way downward until it settled in just the lower back for a few more pulses until it weakened to nothing. The whole thing lasted approx 15 seconds. This feeling would come and go for the next few days. The 1st day was the worst (2 days after the injection).
I only received it after my 3rd AC treatment. Thru a mutual friend, I know someone else who experienced something quite similar. Yet, I've never read about anyone in these msg boards experiencing that.
Was this reaction not a normal one?
