Tips for Managing Bone Pain from Neulasta Injections

Take Claritin it helps

Thanks

Your welcome

Pre-medicate for two days before you go with aleve and claritin

Agreed. Claritan works. Definitely try it

Thanks I’ll try that

Definitely the Claritin but don't wait on pain before taking- take a loading dose 6-8 hours before chemo and then again 6-8 hours after chemo. I dosed with ibuprofen along with both doses and it worked- bottom line- don't be conservative be aggressive and get ahead of the pain and stay ahead- I usually only needed to take it every --6-8 hours for 2-3 days post chemo- regards/ hope this helps...

Epsom salt baths!

I just received my neulasta and will try the Claritin every 6 to 8 hours and epson salt baths thanks I’ll let y’all know if it works
