injections. shortly following my first injection, I woke in the middle of the night with indescribable pain. It struck my sternum, my cranium, and my lower back. Initially, I thought I was having a heart attack; then, the pain in my back was so intense that it seemed to be "rattling" my skeleton, causing my upper body to jerk. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance.I am nearly 6 years post-chemo and have been really struggling with bone and joint pain. It suddenly occurred to me that this may be residual from the neulasta

I had neulasta last year, 12 shots. I had terrible bone pain for the entire time I had treatments. My joints hurt terribly for 3 days after each shot. I finished my treatment in October and have terrible pain in my hips which no one can explain. I have told my oncologist, who says he has never heard of this problem from the shots, and a rheumatologist, who does not know what the problem is. I have been looking to see if I could find anyone else that has had Neulasta and has the problem. Are your bones still bothering you?
