    Yes....I had many of them.....
    during my chemo treatments. They seem to come in threes....like you get them for 3 days in a row, to build up white blood cells. Some people get bone soreness from them (I did not)...but the Oncologist suggested to me, that if my long bones in the legs started hurting, to us Clariton (OTC, the stuff for allergies)....
