Have just had 2nd treatment of 6 and am having leg cramps around calf and shoulders is this a side effect.thanks
Hi . I never had the pleasure of BCG, but have seen similar symptoms to your on here before as a result of the treatment. Do you have a CNS you can call?. I'm sure someone will be along with advice. Best wishes.
Good morning Terry11, how are you today? I’ve reached the conclusion that after BCG every ache , twinge , cough or sniffle is a side effect , or is it ? There may be pre existing conditions , eg arthritis , that seem to be affected by BCG .After my first six I experienced aches in my legs. When I started my present set of three I was told that I may experience flu like symptoms and so I have. I think it’s best to forget about side effects and do a bit of gardening or go for a walk then if you ache you’ll put it down to gardening or walking , best wishes, John
