Gazyva reaction

[jjaarons]

Had my first 2 gazyva infusions last Thursday and Friday. Had a brief infusion reaction both days which resolved. Now 4 days later have muscle aches like the flu. Already had my flu shot and don’t have any other symptoms. My Oncologist says that you can get muscle aches from the Gazyva. Has anyone else experienced this?

hi, yes, i had reaction 1st infusion of gazyva and had rigors which i got twice before when on rituxan. I have shoulder pain and pain goes up side of neck under skull. It is painful and usually starts in evening then middle night and morning comes back. I put ice on it and goes away. I see a chiropractor also. Had pain in knee cap also and aching in my back but since i had to start with allopurinol, that also causes this type side effects so i can`t be sure the pain is from infusions.
