I'm on week 7 of Entyvio (3 infusions) and am experiencing a lot of pain in my hips and knees.

Anyone else experience this?

I didn't have it with entyvio but I did have it with remicade. mine got so bad I could barely walk. In my case, I think it was a sign that I wasn't haven't a proper response. I hope this isn't the case for you. Are you having good results?

I haven't seen any change yet, symptoms are still pretty bad. By the end of the day I can barely walk and getting up or down stairs is impossible.

Joint pain is listed as a side effect on the entvyio package insert. Most all uc drugs list joint pains as a possible side effect. Overall, joint pain is the top extra-intestinal compliant of uc patients. It's tough to tell if it's from the drug or not. Certainly with other biologics, it seems side effects are most common among those who've developed antibodies to their medication. You're fairly new to it, so I'm not sure there.

I gave the drug 4 months per mayo clinic. I felt worse on it after a few infusions, like very sickly all the time. No energy, crying, unwell feeling constantly. Trial and error for most of us. Listen to your body,
