This is the drug from hell! I had 4 chemo infusions (AC)followed by Neulasta with no bone pain whasoever. My 5th was Taxol and I got the worst bone pain of my life! I couldn't sit, stand, lie down or even walk without being in excruciating pain. Percocet worked for only two days.

This is the drug from hell! I had 4 chemo infusions (AC)followed by Neulasta with no bone pain whasoever. My 5th was Taxol and I got the worst bone pain of my life! I couldn't sit, stand, lie down or even walk without being in excruciating pain. Percocet worked for only two days. I suffered another 2 days and then went to the hospital for a much needed shot of morhpine. I was then prescribed Dilaudit which I had to take for another 4 days. My dr. figured it was the Taxol/Neulasta combo that did it. This drug should not even be an option. It's effective but it's not worth the side effects. It's only reason for use is to shorten the time between infusions from 3 weeks to 2 weeks. I am now off this horrendous drug and waiting 3 weeks between infusions. If your dr. says you need Neulasta, I would seriously look at other options.

I had six chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer with one of these shots after each one. I had intense bone pian in my legs after each time, the pain lasting longer each time. My doctor put me on oxycodone, ibuprofen, and claritin. It worked great to control the main. My last shot was on June 1st, 2012 and I am getting the exact same pain not quite as intense randomly 1-3 times a week. Now I am ... Show Full Comment

severe pain in joints, legs, muscles, arms, can barely stand on my legs for a long period of time. Right leg & foot also numb from this shot (neulasta). Terrible side effects.Aspirin didn't touch the pain & either did oxycodone....Still suffering from this terrible drug

I must say that I have the opportunity to compare my 1 shot every 2 wks to when I was a stem cell donor for my brother and was given heavy doses of the neulasta. No I do not like the aches in my bones. This weekend I will do very little. But next week I will be me again. The treatment is definetly not worse than the disease.
