Swelling & bone pain after vaccinations

by Marsha England on Sun Jun 28, 2015 7:15 pm

In March of 2015 I went ahead and allowed the recommended vaccinations that oncology has been asking me to get. My stem cell transplant (SCT) was August of 2012, and I have NEVER had bone pain, either at stage 4 before transplant, or after, UNTIL I got the vaccinations oncologist recommended.

Just 4 days after the vaccination (they gave me 7 different vaccinations all at once ... said it was "protocol"), my legs swelled below the knee for several days, and I began to experience mild bone pain, as well as arthritic symptoms. NOW it has escalated into some serious pain in ribs and hips.

Has anyone here experienced this negative reaction to vaccination after transplant?

That sounds bad. What were the 7 vaccines?
