I've just received my 7th rituxan treatment. Starting with the third one i started experiencing severe joint pain. With each treatment the pain has gotten worse and lsted longer. It now usuallyklasts 3-4 days and radiates throughout all of myjoints and has begun hitting my shins and my arms.
The other side effects are manageable...stomach cramps, sweats, flushing and MAJOR FATIGUE and MUSCLE WEAKNESS
