Hip Pain, Swelling & Redness on Bum

Categories:

Hi All, my partner has been on Dasatinib 70mg for 2 years now.

His readings are good, however yesterday he had sudden pain on his left hip that swelled up and was red. His left bum too was red and warm to touch.

He had fever , headache and couldn't move. The fever subsided after he took Paracetamol.

Today he has no fever , the swelling , redness and pain on the hips/bum has reduced.

Is this a side effect of Dasatanib?

Hi Poppy,

That is not the sort of side effect that is typical with any CML drugs. It’s often hard to separate problems we have that are due to to CML / or the medication from just the sort of thing that happens to everyone sometimes.

Good that he is feeling better today, and hopefully even better again tomorrow.

David.
