Pain Flares Post Pluvicto Injection

I see that no one has answered you yet and thought I would weigh in. My husband had all six Pluvicto infusions in 2024. He never had severe pain flares after any infusion. I notice that you are taking oxycodone, and it sounds like you were already on it before you began Pluvicto, which suggests that you had preexisting pain of some kind. I think it would be sensible to ask the doctor treating your preexisting pain if Pluvicto could be causing the severe pain flares, and to also ask whoever has ordered your Pluvicto if he or she has any insights on what the connection might be. Good luck, and please keep us updated.

The Radiology Team tells me that flares are a relatively common side effect at least in the early injections. You are correct that I've had a variety of pains from the metastization and was using oxycodone prior to Pluvicto. After the first two flares, things calmed down so I hardly needed oxy. My last treatment was Friday and the flare was Tuesday/Wednesday. We'll see how it goes from here. Thanks for your thoughts
