Back Pain After Iron Sulfate Infusions. Side Effect? Or Due To Position Related?
I have received Iron sulfate infusions the last two weeks, they mentioned low back pain may be a side effect, I received my dose Wed. and l am up now with severe lower back pain, was unable to get comfortable in my temperpedic mattress. I called last week re: the back pain and was told it usually happens the first day out. First why would it cause lower back pain and second could this be from the infusion
It has side effects such as arthralgia and myalgia. It could be due to inflammation of the muscles. Try some anti inflammatory with muscle relaxant. I think that may help. Thanks.
