Neupogen is given to stimulate the bone marrow to start making WBC’s after chemo wipes them out. I was lucky, and my insurance covered the Neulasta on pro injector. The nurse put it on my arm before o left chemo, and it released 27/hours later. I had no bone pain.
I have given the shots to patients. Small needle, easy to inject. Some people get bone pain, some get none. I would say more people have little or no bone pain than do. Taking Claritin, or an antihistamine starting the day of chemo, and for 7 days total can help. We have all our patients do this. If you do have bone, it is usually the worst with first, and seems to get better each cycle. Heat helps, hot showers, bath, warm blankets, heating pads can help a lot. We tell our patients, if the pain is bad, they can take Tylenol sparingly if they have no fever. If it is still bad, we prescribe Tramadol. Statistically, you be fine, but if not, let your doctor know, no need to suffer. Fatigue will be from the chemo, not the Neupogen.

Besides being a breast cancer survivor, I am also an oncology nurse. Happy to help in any way.
You got this!

Any warm bath can help.
Attitude is everything, go into this knowing you will get through this!
I find my patients at chemo teaching say great, I am going to get all these side effects, do not do well through chemo. The ones who say I will get through this do better. Believe in you, I do!

I had the Neulasta Onpro, an auto injector that went off about 27 hours after a chemo session ended. It did the trick, I never got sick with the flu, colds, whatever- and I started chemo in Jan and went through June. My feelings of being tired were more related to red blood cells / platelet counts bottoming out. I did have achy, but only for a couple of days, Tylenol and heat worked well for me. Others have had luck with Claritin (did nothing for me), Good Luck!!

I had horrible pain in my bones after those shots. The chemo never made me sick but those shots would put me down for 3-5 days in bed. Over the counter meds did not cony pain had to get a prescription for pain meds. Just a few days supply to get me through those days.

I took warm baths and rotated between Tylenol and Advil . I think the baths helped more then the other!!! Claritin , I took it not sure if it helped or not...... Hope you get some relief...
