Bad leg pain after first Rituxan

[PattyMPA]

I developed very bad upper leg pain first on the right and left sides down from the hip, then this week (after 2nd Rituxan infusion) in the front of thighs. This is nothing like fibromyalgia pain, it is much worse. It is also disabling in that I can barely walk and really struggle on stairs. It gets better during the day if I force myself to stay upright. Also a lot of edema from the knees down. Are others experiencing this?

Have you spoken to your doctor about this pain?

I see my primary tomorrow and am calling my Rheum today about it. My ANCA is now negative though, so that is a big plus.
