      My husband is in the hospital due to infection of unknown origin, raised liver enzyme levels (bilirubin) and excruciating pain in his lower back, sacrum. We thought this might be due to a new met in the sancrum, but nothing has changed in that area ( there is a met, but no noticeable change). Has anyone had experience with Zelboraf causing either of these conditions, that is liver problems and/or lower back pain?
      Thanks

          I had lower back pain, I think for at least two weeks around the time I started zelboraf, I was on a few medications at that point, so can't say for sure if Zelboraf is what it was caused it. It wasn't excruciating, but definetly uncomfortable enough to have me concerned. Luckily, it eventually just faded away. I hope your husbands does too.
