Stelara question

Hi everyone

I'm 47 and suffered with psoriasis since I've been 4 yrs old šŸ™ and pretty much tried everything trying to have sort of normalcy in my life and I was humming along until the psoriasis on the outside of both my legs left me in tears more then once from excruciating pain I finally decided enough was enough and went to dermatologist and was started on stelara and that was a little over a year ago (not a cure) but way better then what I was.

My issue with Stelara has always been this weird sensation I get during the injection [I can feel it] running through my body particularly in the area of the injection (not injection site) I have it injected in my stomach and I can taste Yes taste the Stelara so today I decided to have it injected in my upper thigh and oh my dear Lord I never expected to feel the Stelara running down my leg landing on my knee and practically dropping me to the floor less then 2 mins after the injection and ive had a hard time walking around all day, little better now.

Has anyone experienced this with the Stelara injection or any thought to why my body does this ?

Thanks, batty1

No canā€™t say Iā€™ve felt anything like that, and Iā€™ve been on all the biologics on the market. Did your dr instruct you on how he wanted you to inject - subcutaneously or intramuscular?
