Possible to be a side effect.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I also feel that your symptoms may be related to Avastin injections. Jaw pain, swelling, numbness, loose teeth and gum infection are reported side effects of Avastin.

Do get back to me if you have further queries.

Brief Answer:
Physical symptoms can also be present.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

A number of physical symptoms are also reported with Avastin.
Some of them are a mild headache, back pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, cold symptoms, dry or watery eyes, dry or flaky skin, hair loss, changes in your sense of taste. These are not very common but can make one feel tired.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wish you good health and a great day.
