Hello,
I have been on Tecfidera since 2016. It worked for me great. Some time after I started it I developed lower back pain which wouldn't go away. I got difficulties standing up from sitting position. When I forced myself to stand up straight, after a minute, the pain would go away and I would function normally without pain. I got a lower back MRI, RTG, all normal.
Then it occurred to me that it might be Tecfidera side effect. With my Dr permission, I stopped Tecfidera for 2 weeks, and sure enough the pain went away.
My next MS med option is Ocrevus . It sounded like nice alter, but now, after reading about all of those cancers, terrible side effects, I am not sure about it. Can you please share your experience?
