Jascayd & Back Pain
I just started taking Jascayd last November and a week ago I started having severe lower back pain. Is it caused by Jascayd possibly as I have done nothing physically to trigger it? It is a band across my entire lower back but does not shoot down my legs. Had no symptoms on drug at all for 2 months.
Could not take with OFEV as that caused bad diarrhea. Considering stopping Jascayd and going back to just OFEV to see if pain goes away.

Hi Lizo
I just started taking Jascayd five weeks ago. Two weeks into it I started to experience chronic pain around my lower back. It was my back my hips and my groin. I could not walk, sit or sleep in my bed for two days. I have always had lower back issues. I have gotten shots for those issues which have always helped.
This pain was something I never experienced before. It has gotten much better in the past two days.
I am just dealing with the normal pain I always have.
I tell you it was a nasty experience that almost stopped me from continuing with the med. Powered through it and thank God it has gotten better.

Hi Lizo and Innkeeper,
Based on the information from Jascayd (https://patient.boehringer-ingelheim.com/us/products/jascayd/), back pain is a known side effect. On the same webpage, you will find that Boehringer-Ingelheim encourages you to report negative side effects and provides a link to report those side effects.

I remember having this pain that radiated down my back to my leg like sciatica early
But the pain did stop and have not had it again. Asking a new question Has anyone switched to Jascayd from Ofev or perfididone? I have definitley gone down at a faster rate with it . Has anyone else? Also taking new drug Yutrepia
