Does anything help for bone pain...Neulasta shot

[Guest guest]

Hey my people!!!! Sorry i have not posted but here and there! This is

Sandy from los Angeles. I've finished 4 rounds of A/C on the 9th! I've

experienced a little bit of all the side effects and was able to still

woork my 2 full time jobs until now...My 2nd neulasta shot The pain is

horrible and what;s more odd, its only in one portion of my body(the

upper left side and down my left arm. I went to the ER because they say

(the instructions on side effects inside the box)If you experience left

tip shoulder pain, go to the dr immediately, the spleen may be enlarged)

So, this is what I did, they took x-rays of my shoulder but not my

spleen and sent me home. I've been changing up between vicodin and

1600mg motrin....pain still there...I've used a home massage

pad....nope...Last night I finally used the stinky stuff(icy hot) a

little better... I'm gonna call the dr and ask him to prescribe just

something to knock me out. Because if the 2nd neulasta shot did this

what's gonna happen after the other 4 shots and 4 rounds of Taxol!????

Anyway,for the newly diagnosed, you're in the right place,Welcome to

the group! Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Sandy,

Sorry to hear you are in such pain. My suggestion would be moist heat if you are

not already using it instead of just the reg heating pad. You will be in my

prayers.

Hi Sandy,

I would fill the bathtub with hot water or stand in

the shower under hot water until I felt a bit better.

I also took 500 mg of Vicadin when I was taking the

Taxol. But the hot water helped me.

Thanks,

Anita

Dear Sandy,

I feel for you because the Neulasta was the worst thing about chemo.

I was in such pain for about 3 or 4 days after the shot, like I had

the flu. The nurse said that some people even think they are having a

heart attack because the pain in the sternum (breastbone) is so bad.

You are doing about everything you can at this point. Be glad your

Dr. gave you vicodin, mine would not give me anything stronger than

Celebrex! the good news is that the pain stayed about the same

intensity after each shot, so it probably won't get any worse for you

as you progress through treatments. good luck with the remaining

treatments!

Forgive my ignorance but is the Neulasta shot the one

given to raise our White Blood Cell counts? If it is,

I remember my oncologist prescribing it after my first

A/C treatment because my WBC count was still very low.

I remember my nurse coming over after my A/C treatment

and telling me that she was giving me a shot in the

arm and that she was going to give it to me very

slowly because it could hurt. She would inject the

medicine slowly, then stop for a minute, then inject a

little more, then stop for a minute and I think she

did that 4 or 5 times. I remember thinking, just

hurry up and get it done with already, but Amy, my

nurse, knew better than I.

I don't know if injecting slowly will help, but I did

not have any side effects.

Hope this helps,

Anita

Anita,

I guess I'm one of the few lucky ones, I had 8 neulasta shots and didn't have

a problem with any of them.. no pain, no side affects, nothing...

I do believe she can give it to you in the butt, and I would tell her to just

do it, it shouldn't need to take 4-5 stop and goes, they aren't sticking the

needle into the bone and any side affects wouldn't come directly after the shot

anyways... Sorry I can't be of much help but do ask about your options!!

>w. rogers,

Could you tell me some of the diiferences that you experienced with

the taxol vs a/c? I has xrays of my neck, shoulder etc. the dr saw me

on thursday, when i was still having bad pain, that he didn't

understand. He aid it may be an old injury and the neulasta brouhgt

it out...(that's possible...I used to do lat pull-downs at the gym)

Anyway,he told me to take 2 viocodin(5mg only) and a muscle relaxer

It was much better last night, of course I'm a little sleepy(can't

have everything)!
