A possible side effect of Glatopa?
By: agate Date: August 28, 2022, 1:51 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I've been taking Glatopa for over a year and a half now and have
noticed that the initial reactions (burning, pain, swelling and
redness at the injection site) have become less bothersome.
However, every now and then I have a bad night after one of the
shots. It's always some searing pain that I often think is just
arthritis acting up.
The long, long list of possible "adverse events" related to
using this drug includes mention of "arthralgia." That is
really just another term for arthritis but it seems to mean
"episodes of arthritis-like pain" instead of the more chronic
condition we think of as "arthritis."
The pains, which are usually in the lower back, thighs, or legs,
are difficult to put up with. Since they often occur in the
middle of the night after the shot day and continue till
morning, and sometimes on into the next day or so, a person
might be tempted to blame the Glatopa.
I am blaming the Glatopa, particularly for this latest episode
(last night). It was sudden stabbing pain in the left lower
back. I couldn't walk at all when the pain was at its most
intense.

"Arthralgia" due to Glatopa

I stopped Glatopa 7 months ago. The pain spells, usually in the
middle of the night, have stopped completely.
Maybe Glatopa just isn't the right drug for some.
