I'm 8 days out from round 1 of chemo, had a neulasta (pegfilgrastim) shot day 2, took claritin 2 days pre- through 3 days post- chemo, but now have severe bone pain?

Neulasta (pegfilgrastim): You don't mention what chemotherapy you are receiving, or why you are receiving it, however, Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) commonly causes bone pain for several days after it is injected. Talk to your oncologist or the nursing staff about this.
