During and after treatment I experienced severe back problems and pulled muscles. I had no back problems before treatment. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms while using Rituxin? After 6 wks of physical therapy 3 times a week I still can't be on my feet more than a few minutes due to back pain. Would appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience. Thanks.

My husband has NHL and he has had back pain about 1 week after his RCHOP treatmend with the Rituxin (Mabthera). Our oncologist said that this is a common side effect cause i was worried the cancer had spread ot his spine, he has pain killers prescribed to help with the pain, Lilysmum Sat, 18 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT  On 11/18/2006 Lilysmum wrote:hi, i was so glad to read your message, ive been online for 2 days trying to find somebody with this symptom.
