So today i had my 2nd injection of Faserna and again within hours the back of my legs are so painful round the knees and calfs . I told the nurse it happened last time and she said it not a side effect but its happened again .Is it just me or has anyone else had this on Faserna?

My test results are better than last month except my feno that was 100 this time 99 last month ,and my oxygen around 95% not been anywhere near that for a looong time usually 91/92 so i would say yes it is somewhat working ,but cannot come off low dose steroids yet on 5mg a day now . Today i feel like i have a cold which is a side effect but the leg thing i dont know if it the steroids or the Faserna or just my wonky body .

I've read a lot of comments about joint pain with biologics in general in my support groups. Joint pain is listed as a possible side effect of Fasenra on drugs.com which is a pretty reliable site. Perhaps you could talk to your GP, too?
