Hi everybody,
this is my first post here.
My mum is 59 and she was diagnosed with CML on August 14th. She started to be treated with Imatinib three weeks ago.
The hematocrit is going better now, but she is suffering with very strong, almost unbearable pain at legs. She nearly can't walk.
She is taking magnesium.
Her doctor said she can't take paracetamol with imatinib. She said she can only take ketroprofene when pain is extremely strong, but it doesn't help.
My mum is very strong but the pain is really devastating her.
The doctor says the pain will last three months.
Does anyone have had similar experience, or maybe some suggestions?
Thank you very much.
Nick
