Re: Neupogen & Neulasta Bone Pain YIKES!!!!!
I took daily Leukine and not Neulasta or Neupogen but Leukine causes the bone pain too. Mine was primarily my sternum (bad - thought I was having a heart attack or something) and my long bones.
I took nothing because I wanted to monitor the pain but for the legs - walking around and staying mobile helped. I felt the first day of shots was the worst day. The subsequent 9 days of shots were not so bad.
I think if ibuprofen works for you, stick with it (it is my OTC pain reliever of choice).
I am thinking of you Sheila. It looks like with your markers, you are going in the right direction.
Love and hugs
