Mircera HELP!

[Arizonainthehouse]

Has anyone been on Mircera for anemia? If so, have you had any side effects that caused you to go off of it?? I am experience SEVERE pain in my back in the area just below the neck. I cant turn my head, Im very nauseated, I cant shrug my shoulders without pain. Im freaking out.

Hello and welcome to IHD,
Could it be that the pain in your back in the area just below the neck could be something else and not “just” a side-effect of your current medication? Please ask your doctor about it!

… I remember ... when I was struggling with a broken ankle, which needed - over a period of five years - six operations to correct former “ankle-operation-mishaps”… and … whilst I tried very hard to get on with my life, despite “sporting” a very thick plaster over my right ankle, on-and-off, over a period of about five years ...  and since the plaster made my right leg longer than my left leg, it made my “body-balance” naturally change  ...

To cut a long and painful story short: when I finally was “plaster-free”, I instantly developed a terrible pain on my spine below the neck and, when I saw an orthopaedic consultant, he instantly ordered urgent physiotherapy, which slowly and after a while made my terrible headaches, pain and spine-problem eventually disappear and my balance became the same again as it was before the broken ankle-episode.

Please ask your doctor and an orthopaedic consultant to find out more … and I wish you the best of luck and better health, Kristina.

It's probably just a hysterical reaction, and it will go away in a few days.

Hello Alexis, how can you possibly judge Arizona's medical problems/symptoms "just like that"? Are you medical?
I am mentioning this because I had once similar symptoms like the described symptoms/problems by Arizona and in my case they were due to a pain over my third vertebra due to a problematic broken ankle which took years to heal ... just mentioning ...
Best wishes from Kristina.
