I get pain in my joints off and on….in my wrists, ankle, and hip sometimes. I’m 76 years old and not sure if it’s just age related or CLL. I’m in watch and wait stage. I guess my answer isn’t much help for you. 🤔 maybe someone else more info. 😍

have CLL, supposed to be in remission after 8 chemo treatments, still have leg, back, side and feet pains since last summer, went to neurosurgeon for advice, sent me to pain management doctor, exrays showed nerves in my spinal disks rubbing on bone, prescribed injections to relieve pain. not sure if i want to do that, seems that my doctors want to play whack a mole or merry go round technique.

It is Marilyn. I have been in watch since 2019 and 74 years. It seems when that is mentioned it is ignored but a walker was prescribed for my hip pain☺️

Yes joint pain is part of the cancer. White blood cells mature & immature congregate in Pancreas. Your joins due to age can become inflamed. Those white blood cells go after the inflammation & continue till? My Mom had terrible time with her legs & knees. Hope you find help. I tried Chiropractic but the VA said I should not because of my Leukemia.

Hi I don't know about pain in joints and legs for CLL, but I have AML and do have pain in my back, legs and knee joints.
