Hi guys 

Any one else have any experience in really bad pounding pain lower to mid back after and during the filgastrim Injections this has just come on after the 5th injection and I’m in agony I phoned the help line and the operator recommended paracetamol but it is not touching it

    Hi BEERBELLY1, 

    Poor you I am so sorry this 5th injection has caused you so much pain. You did well to phone the helpline but if the paracetamol is not touching it, it might be worth ringing them again and explaining this to them and insisting on how painful it is so that they provide an alternative solution.

    You could also try and get in touch with 111 for out of hours medical advice. I hope you manage to speak to someone soon about this and that the pain diminishes quickly. 

    Best wishes,

    Hi Lucy 

    Thank you for the message really appreciated 

    I have mixed a co-codamol mixture with ibuprofen and touch wood it’s slot better than yesterday but still agonising 

    If it persist I will definitely give them a call back and try to get some alternative pain medication although not sure how much more chemicals ones system can endure it seems endless but all for a good cause and end goal 

     Thanks Again Lucy
