I had the Lipeg.. from first cycle and experienced horrendous pain in lower back and hips. (akin to labour pains) I was not told to expect this and thought something was terribly wrong. As it was after 5pm I thought I would have to present to ED but a visiting friend gave me some miracle tobacco and within 15 minutes the pain disappeared . The following cycles I took Oxycodene at the first sign of pain and that managed it to acceptable level. Then, of course, had to take something to offset the inevitable constipation. The oncology nurse phoned after few days post cycle and she told me some bone pain is normal few days after Lipeg.. injection. Like all the other cocktails we get, side effects are not predictable and not the same for everyone. On a good note, I never developed neutropenia.
