Re: Severe pain in legs,Help!

[Guest guest]

Hi Kay,

I have to wonder if this is bone pain. If so, then all I personally know about

are drugs such as oxycodone. In my opinion, you should talk to your onc and see

what he recommends for pain. I hope someone else has other ideas. I've had

bone pain (which was fleeting, thank goodness) and it's excruciating. I could

barely walk and couldn't drive. This was at the beginning of Gleevec (IM)

treatment when lots of leukemia cells were getting killed off and moving out of

the system.

Let us know what you find out about the cause and treatment. So sorry you're in

pain.

Warmly,

L

Hi, I wonder if the pain is in your bone or muscle? I don't know if you

remember me but I have fought bone pain for a long time. I know it only too

well. Somedays it cycles and it hits different parts of the body. Has your

doctor recommended seeing a rheumatologist? I hope it is only temporary? -

I also have lots of joint pain in my legs and back. standing and walking can

become excruciating. It's still fleeting, so I haven't been doing anything for

it. Just thought I would mention that I have some of this too. I guess I have

just figured I have to live with it, but some days it's really bad.
