I got lumps at times that made me think the drug didn't dissipate properly. You should talk to your doc because if it isn't dissipating, it isn't going to work. I was on it for 2.5 years. It worked great for me. Good luck to you on it also.

I get zoladex injections in my belly and the last one has left a lump also (and a huge bruise). When I asked about it I was told that it was common and that massaging it would help.
However, any concerns should always be mentioned to your dr/onc.

I haven't gotten any big lumps, though sometimes I feel bruised. However, when I look it just looks like a lumpy-middle-aged butt. My last Faslodex shot was month 39 so there isn't a spot back there that hasn't been touched and it all feels a bit scarred [may not be the right word.]
I don't think that this is "usual" but it could be for you. Wish I could be more helpful.

Yep, I had a huge lump once. I also had my skin split open from the lump and form a large sore once. After that happened, the doc proscribed Decadron and Benedryl before my next injection. Because I hate Decadron, I tried taking just the Benedryl beforehand, and during the day of, and it worked! Now, for the last several months, I take a dose of Benedryl as soon as I get into the doc's office. (It takes about 15 minutes to work, and I usually have to wait at least that long before they call me.) Then I take another after I get home so as not to be driving with it, as it makes you sleepy. It has really helped. I'd suggest trying it- just getting some over the counter is fine, and see if it helps. Good luck!

Ive been getting these shots for a while. I had my injection Friday. And Saturday there was a large lump next to the injection site. It feels like a bruise but no discoloration. I'm calling the nurse tomorrow
What did the doctor tell you about it?

My Faslodex injection in February 2024 must of settled around my sciatica nerve. Could not bend down and pain unbearable. It’s been 3 months with hardly any relief. Been rubbing and even went y to Chiropractor to try scraping. Pain cream also used. I’m getting desperate for some relief from this pain. Also have numbing and tingling from lesion on sacrum that has hit nerve. Any suggestions accepted.
