I just got on to this sight. Yes, I had 3 shots I started this weird rash bumps on the back of my neck. I have had this for over a year. I had a biopsy on it and it is from medication. however no one but my dermatologist believes it from the shot. I also have severe leg pan I walk with cans now. I have been to orthopedic, physical therapy, rheumatologist, and now they want me to go to pain management. I don't know what to do. of course the heat dr. wont be leave it is from the Leqvio.

@gmaboof - so sorry to hear this! I can't speak to the leg pain but a rash is a known side effect, per leqvio.com. ("The most common side effects of LEQVIO were: injection site reaction [including pain, redness, and rash], joint pain, and chest cold.") Injection site reaction is experienced by 8% of patients. I would question the location, though, assuming you had the shot in the upper arm.
Since none of the topical creams (prescription and non prescription) I had on hand helped, my Derm prescribed Clobetasol Propionate .05% which did help the area heal a little faster. The rash was gone in about 1 month. Because the reaction after the 2nd shot was 2x as large, I'm bracing for my 3rd injection in July.
Have you checked this document available on the Leqvio website: https://www.novartis.com/us-en/sites/novartis_us/files/leqvio.pdf
