4 days agoJoint pain in hands can indeed occur after BCG treatment, and many community members have shared similar experiences with delayed side effects appearing weeks after completing their treatment cycles. BCG therapy can sometimes cause inflammatory reactions that affect joints, and this is something worth discussing with your medical team as they can help determine the best way to manage these symptoms while you prepare for your upcoming surgery.
