I got my first shot and 2 days later my lower back started to hurt and I could not stand or walk around for very long l had to sit down because that made my back feel better.

I got my first shot and 2 days later my lower back started to hurt and I could not stand or walk around for very long l had to sit down because that made my back feel better. Was supposed to get second shot today but decided to wait and see if my back gets better. I did nothing to cause the back pain and I looked up the side effects and lower back sprain is one, not sure how that happens but my back sure hurts. Anyone else have this problem or am I special?

I have been receiving these shots for more than. 3 yrs with the last one being yesterday. With the exception on the one yesterday, I can say I have had very little side effects and the injection is good for around 6 mos. The injection I received yesterday has been causing severe pain to point I can not walk and the RT knee is severely swollen. Icing it regularly and ibuprofen not helping.

For the first 2 years of injections, I was pain free. Now I had another one and I have never been in so much pain in my life! I should've been in the hospital because I couldn't take care of myself. I couldn't walk without a walker and then it was still so painful I just cried and moaned. Painkiller didn't help, couldn't sleep, so much pain. Dr said after several injections thi ...

For the first 2 years of injections, I was pain free. Now I had another one and I have never been in so much pain in my life! I should've been in the hospital because I couldn't take care of myself. I couldn't walk without a walker and then it was still so painful I just cried and moaned. Painkiller didn't help, couldn't sleep, so much pain. Dr said after several injections this can happen. A severe reaction! Took prednisone and that helped with some of the swelling. I can never take this injection again, nor do I want to. I had a full week of pure hell. He then gave me cortisone, not sure what will happen when that wears off. I'm nervous to say the least.

I had my third Synvis shot on Nov 16 2015. My life is been a horrible ever since I have severe muscle cramps severe pain behind my knee sciatic nerve pain severe headaches and overall I have to say this is been a nightmare . My first shot was in early October then I waited four weeks my second shot was around November 1 and the last shot November 16 the pain I have now has pworsen after my surgery it just is been absolutely horrible I was negligent in reviewing the other patients treatment and their effects that they had so it's my own fault but still I think the doctor should've warned me that there were other side effects . I have sleepless nights from waking up from the pain it's like a sciatic pain that goes up into my from my knee to my ankle is numbing tingling and all kinds of problems that I never thought would occur . The Strug should be outlawed because it is just terrible I was a functional person able to do exercise writing a bike 4 -5 miles a day and now I can barely get out of bed in the morning . Well I can say is beware the doctors don't tell you the truth and the form that they give you the information about Synvis is a lie. So what do I do now find a way to get this stuff out of my body because of the side effects are's are just terrible .
