I took twice daily (7 days) shots of Neupogen, which is a steroid drug, to increase the number of stem cells, in order to be a donor, for someone with Leukemia. Three weeks later the meniscus on one knee tore and 1 week later the other one tore. Both occured while only walking. After 3 unsuccessful surgeries to repair the damage, in the next 2 years, I had to undergo complete knee replacements. Co-incidence? I know nothing about Polymyalgia. One of my doctors and I strongly feel the drug I took was the cause of my knee problems.
