Hi fellow BCG travellers, have any of you experienced a polyarthritic reaction to BCG (arthritic reaction in several joints simultaneously). And if so what help did you get to alleviate? Cheers Leo
I was very pleased to see that somebody else is suffering with joint pains. I have actually got an appointment at my doctors on the 29th because I thought I was getting arthritis in my shoulders front of my shoulders and in my hands as trying to make a fist is very painful, with my thumb and little finger is the worst. I’ve had two operations and six Weeks of mitomycin so, I don’t know whether this is similar treatment to what you’ve had
Hi Forestranger sorry to hear you are suffering some SX too, although from MM rather than BCG, which is what I am on. I am no doctor, but could be an eager immune response reacting. Leo
Now I think about it yes.Certainly excisting joint pain got worse with the initial 6 treatments but have eased as time passed. I had very bloodshot eyes which is another symptom linked to an immune response.
