"Was neutropenic, and after several (3) injections of Neupogen, my white cell count was greatly increased. I had one injection in the arm and two in the stomach. Achy and tired for several days after injections, but feeling much better less than a week later."

"I have taken Neupogen a few times over the years without any issues or pain. I was prescribed Neupogen again, an injection for three days. The first two days were fine, and the third day, a few hours after my injection, I had horrible pain in my lower back, radiating down to my thighs and up to my neck. It was so intense I had to take pain medication which did not seem to help, and I considered going to the ER. I read online that Claritin helps because it relieves the histamines that are created when your body makes white blood cells. After taking Claritin, my pain slowly started to get better within the hour. I strongly recommend asking your doctor about taking Claritin before your injections. It’s just not worth going through that type of pain. However, that said, this drug is extremely effective at raising white blood counts, and besides this one incidence of pain, I did not have any other effects over the years."
