filgrastim injection

I had exactly the same so I took co codomol and 3 hours later ibrofen 

the pain lessens each cycle 

Yes..really bad back pain and aches. Did improve. I took pain killers which helped. 

I was on injections once a day for 4 months following my second Stem Cell Transplant..... I did them after breakfast every morning. I took a few Paracetamol with breakfast then did the injection.

I had no real bone pain and I was told that this was down to my team prescribing Piriton or Clarityn Antihistamine as this bizarrely stopped the pain developing, these were taken as per the dose instructions - worth talking your team about this as not a lot of hospitals do this ((hugs))

Thank you all so much for the advice, I will speak with her consultant tomorrow about her taking stronger pain killers x

I had similar when self administering injections over 5 days following my chemo. I experienced really strong stomach pains  - think childbirth levels - following every injection & ended up with trips to A&E.  My oncologist swapped the daily injections for just one slow release injection on the day afternoon chemo which has been a huge improvement. I load myself up with paracetamol & ibuprofen and do the injection now and have no side effects

My Oncologist prescribe Piriton while doing Filgastrim injections. Google it. Those taking Clarityn or Piriton don't suffer bone pain. Wishing your Mum well with her treatment and recovery.

Insist on adequate pain relief.  If the pain is bad enough for someone to go to the ED, then it's bad enough for something more than paracetamol and ibuprofen to be given.  Nothing should ever be dismissed as "just" side effects if it's causing a patient distress.

I only had a single injection on day 5 of my cycle, but I'd read about taking loratadine to prevent bone pain so I took that every cycle.  The evidence about its effectiveness is divided, but my team were of the opinion that it couldn't hurt.
