I'll take issue with part of Robert's message. Leg pain (or foot pain) is a relatively common side effect of Gleevec. For most people, the symptom diminishes after a while. I've been on Gleevec for 18 months and still have foot pain occasionally at night. The easiest way to alleviate the pain (for most people, but it doesn't work for everyone) is to drink tonic water or take quinine pills. If you review the available literature, you will find a lot of information about countering leg pain. I recommend that you contact the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for appropriate references.
On the other part of Robert's message, anyone who is getting advice on Gleevec side effects from a chiropractor is looking for trouble. Robert is far too polite.
