Hi Everyone, it is annoying when you ask your haematologist a question and they don't answer it and tell you to take something for it, rather than explain the reason whythis is happening, because it's our body and we want answers, if you are that way inclined, I know I want answers.

To answer your question, it's very possible that this is caused by leukemia, because my back, legs and feet hurt as I have AML.

My husband also experiences pain in his legs, feet, and ankles. He has CMML. I agree it's hard to get an explanation from physicians. We thought that some of his medications might be the cause, but physicians say no. So frustrating!

Hi Anne, ask your doctor for another referral to get another opinion.
