What causes persistent pain in leg bones?
Patient: I have had CLL for ten years without any treatment. I have bone pain in my legs. My oncologist doesn t feel that the pain is related to th CLL and this is a surprise to me because all this time I thought the pain was from the cancer. My WBC is at 20 and my RBC are within Normal limits. I am also wondering when treatment might be necessary?Thanks for your advice Jo-Anne Doctor: Hello,  It could be a contusion or sprain. As first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
