A possible side effect of Glatopa? |
|

|
I've been taking Glatopa for over a year and a half now and have |
|
noticed that the initial reactions (burning, pain, swelling and |
|
redness at the injection site) have become less bothersome. |
|
However, every now and then I have a bad night after one of the |
|
shots. It's always some searing pain that I often think is just |
|
arthritis acting up. |
|
The long, long list of possible "adverse events" related to |
|
using this drug includes mention of "arthralgia." That is |
|
really just another term for arthritis but it seems to mean |
|
"episodes of arthritis-like pain" instead of the more chronic |
|
condition we think of as "arthritis." |
|
The pains, which are usually in the lower back, thighs, or legs, |
|
are difficult to put up with. Since they often occur in the |
|
middle of the night after the shot day and continue till |
|
morning, and sometimes on into the next day or so, a person |
|
might be tempted to blame the Glatopa. |
|
I am blaming the Glatopa, particularly for this latest episode |
|
(last night). It was sudden stabbing pain in the left lower |
|
back. I couldn't walk at all when the pain was at its most |
|
intense. |

"Arthralgia" due to Glatopa |

|
I stopped Glatopa 7 months ago. The pain spells, usually in the |
|
middle of the night, have stopped completely. |
|
Maybe Glatopa just isn't the right drug for some. |
