Burning feet from Remicade (infliximab)

[David]

Hi Remicade Club members,

One of our new members posted here about experiencing burning feet which he may think could be due to Remicade. Have any of you experienced burning feet or burning in other extremities that you think may be due to it? Please reply in this thread and I'll direct him here.

Thank you

I had the burning feet thing when I was coming off Pred. but no burning feet sensation since I started Remi (9 weeks ago) Hope this helps

Nope, nothing of the sort here....

I had my first infusion a few days ago and within 4 hours I had extreme tingling and numbness in my legs and feet. It wasn't really a burning feeling but it sounds similar. I was told that it was a very rare but normal side effect. I hope this helps

Yes, I have had burning feet side effect. If the drip was too fast it would happen all the time. That was the start of the side effects for me. I am no longer on Remicade

Yes, Remicade is Johnson & Johnson's brand name for infliximab.
