i have back pain and on Remicade. How do you know the back pain is from Remicade?
I have noticed that I have low back pain about 3 days after the Remicade infusion. Not all the time but it comes in waves and then goes away. It is also painful in my hips. Could this be from the Remicade. It finally goes away about in 3-4 weeks. Can we take Tylenol? I know Ibuprofen isn't reccomended. Barbara
Hi Barbara,
Thank you for your question. Remicade does have a published side effect of causing joint or muscle pain, so it could be the Remicade that's causing your lower back and hip pain. You can read more about the side effects of Remicade by clicking here. I would recommend discussing it with your doctor. As for the Tylenol, it does not interact directly with the Remicade, but I would check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it to make sure that it doesn't interact with any other medications that you may be taking.
Best of luck,
Casey

I had 2nd remicade infusion and two days later woke up with excruciating hip/groin pain. Had pain medicine (vicodin) and it's barely tolerable. MRI scan shows nothing but fluid on the hip. Not sure if they are even related. But after the rash I broke out in after the first remicade infusion, makes me want to stop the infusions all together. I've been prescribed Endomycin. We'll see if it makes a difference.
