just wondering if this is normal..
I've had two infusions of Remicade so far, and go for my third a week from today. Two hours after my first infusion I got excruciating pains in both of my knee caps and my legs swelled up. The doctor told me to take Benadryl, and it took the pain away. After my second infusion I woke up the next day with my back hurting really, really bad and faint bruises on my spine.
Recently my back has been hurting pretty bad as well as around my neck/shoulders. I also get really stiff ankles which makes it hard and painful to walk at a normal pace.
I was just wondering if this happens to other people. If so, is there anything at all you find that helps?
