Bill, I've heard of people having bone pain while on Neulasta. I suspect the mouth symptoms may be caused by her chemo. Mouth sores are a common chemo side effect. Do let your wife's doctor know that she is still in pain and ask what she can take to help her manage the pain. Also ask about using regular mouth rinses to help prevent mouth sores. My doctor recommended about 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water used every two hours. However, I've heard other people whose doctors recommend baking soda in water, commercial, or prescription mouth washes. So be sure to see what her doctor recommends.
