Ocrevus infusion

[whwiechm]

I have had a lot of trouble with pain in my knees the last couple of weeks. Yesterday, I went in for my Ocrevus infusion. I needed help from the nurses to get back to my car to get home. This morning, my knees haven't felt this GOOD in a long time. I hope it lasts, but I doubt it. Anyone had similar experience?

I do actully, lm not sure if she posted about it or not but check out fancy59 or fancy1959 l talk to her, and she has told me about knee problems before an infusion. I hope it lasts for you also whwiechm ! 🤗💕🌠

I haven't had any problem with O since getting it

Ocrevus helps to reduce the likelihood of an MS relapse. It does not treat pain, or reduce symptoms. So, your feeling less pain the day after an O infusion could be due to your positive thinking- and that's a good thing! But it's not caused by the Ocrevus.

It could be the steroid they give before the Ocrevus. Just glad your pain is better, no matter the reason. I hope it lasts 🙏

I believe it must be the steroid. Two days so far, much better.

Yes it's the "bump" from the steroids you get with the infusion. I look forward to it for the same reason, my knees. I always that pray it lasts longer. Sadly it usually only lasts a day or two.

been on O going on 6 years. Prior to my infusion I get calf spasms (during the crap gap time which I endure for less time now going every 5 months) Within the week after infusion, they disappear until next time-

THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME so definitely a connection.
