Joseph, where did they give your shot? It should be in the fat of your abdomen. Arm pain is not a usual side effect. You should probably get this checked out right away. Especially if it's a new symptom.

Are you experiencing sharp pain in the upper arms from Darzalex Faspro? That's definitely worth paying attention to.

Darzalex Faspro is given as an injection under the skin, and pain is a known side effect. Some commonly reported side effects include:

- Back pain
- Nausea
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Cough
- Low blood cell counts

Sharp arm pain isn't listed as a typical side effect, so it's important to flag this with your care team as soon as possible. It could be related to the injection site or something that needs closer evaluation. In rare cases, Darzalex Faspro can also cause more serious reactions, including breathing trouble and dizziness. If you experience any of those alongside the arm pain, seek medical attention right away.

Your oncologist may be able to adjust how or where the injection is given, or explore other options to help manage the discomfort. Don't tough it out alone — your team needs to know what you're experiencing!
