Dear Jeanie,
So good to hear from you. I know you struggle with lots of different things...and yet carry on...and stay strong with your faith and friends etc...80 years young....sounds good to me.. I am in my mid fifties so need to work, so praying I will be able to do so for a long time to come. My answer to your question is a bit complicated. Spraining your ankle, that REALLY can hurt... That type of pain my docs would recommend arnica spray or/ and some advil or similar anti inflammatory..your bones and muscles are two different things..so if both are waking you up at night...I would ask the doc about that..does massage help??? is it like a cramp or a deep ache? Ponatinib is known for some specific side effects...but it could be arthritis etc....remember to stay really hydrated as that can cause real muscle cramping at night... My situation is that the TKI's created a pretty immediate elevation in my CPK levels..a test that measures muscle breakdown...so the sprycel does a great job for me but also inhibits other processes in my particular case, ( as we are all different and the drugs seem to affect us all quite differently) so my muscles have a ahrd time repairing and when I am active for a period of time, my body starts to hurt all over..muscularly, I can start to feel weakened and in a lot of pain. Good rest, some aspirin or upon rarer occasion, tramadol seems to help, so does therapeutic massage when I can afford it as well as being in the warm water pool...very soothing and relaxing to the muscles....hate the chlorine, but love the feeling!! My love and 18's to all.....spring is here,, the weather just needs to wake up to that fact!

I sprained my muscle in the top part of my right leg and it really hurt. Then my bones a muscles started to wake me up at night. I get up and massage them. I was wondering if you are under a doctors care for the muscles and what they told you to do for pain and all. I take Ponatinib and have for 3 years this Jan. I limped for about a week but it's gradually getting better I don't think I could work but I am 80 years young in May. Looking forward to your advice. I still walk and do some house work and gardening. Love you so very much.
