Filgritism injections

Hi, I had my EC as dose dense every two weeks and had filgrastrim injections for 5 days after each dose. The bone pain was really sore and my shoulder at the side I had cancer ached terribly. They also made me feel like I had the flu. I really wish that I could give you an idea how to help with the pain apart from a hot water bottle and some paracetamol hun. Sending you healing hugs and to let you know you can find a lot of information from all the lovely ladies and men on this site. Jxxx

Thankyou so much I will try paracetamol  to see if that helps the chemo is tolerable weirdly it’s the injections I don’t look forward to , needs must though and positive vibes x

i was told to take Claritin 24 hours before the injection as it helps reduce histamine levels and reduce the pain. i take it every day when. i do injections

Hi,

I too was told to take clarityn with the injections and it really helped. I didn’t get any bone pain.
