Nucala and back pain

5 Replies

I have been on Nucala for over a year and it has helped my asthma and I was able to stop Prednisone (finally). I have tremendous lower back pain (MRI did not show anything but mild arthritis )...I think this may be one of the side effects but it is very painful. Uninary Tract infections also. I know these are listed as some side effects but just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I was on Nacala which caused me to have frozen shoulders to the point I could not life my arms up and had to have steroid injections in both shoulders, this started from the first dose and by dose 4 I ws in so much pain, at first I was told it wasnt the injection but once I came off it my arms resolved after a few weeks, if you go ion the yellow card scheme you can see all the side affects on there

At times crippling lower back pain, but the scans did show some old damage.
