Has anyone had any joint problems after taking Xolair? I read somewhere that

there can be joint problems, and I am developing a bad knee and bad elbow

without having any injury. It could be coincidence, of course, but I'm curious.

I have been having minor problems with my right hand and right foot

BUT arthritis runs in my family. I am assuming that taking so much

pred over the last few years masked symptoms of early onset

arthritis (I'm now 38) and the fact that I'm no longer on pred means

that those symptoms are more obvious. My docs think the same.

Hi Carol:

I have developed Carpal Tunnel in both hands and I developed a Trigger finger

two since I've been on Xolair.

I have been told by a Xolair professional that it can't cause carpal

tunnel. Carpal tunnel is from overuse of the hands/wrists at a job, it

takes a long time to develop.
