Plegridy and knee pain?!?

Hi, I’ve just started Plegridy (began in January and built up to full dose now) and I’ve noticed injection site reactions which is annoying but I was expecting.

Lumbar puncture and back pain

I had a lumbar puncture last Wednesday. For the last four or five days I’ve had a really terrible back ache. I’m guessing that it’s a normal side effect for a lumbar puncture. Has anyone else had it and how long did it last?
