Hi fellow warriors, I was wondering if I remember correctly that the subject of 
arthritis has come up regarding those of us on Gleevec and what was said. I'm 
on Gleevec and have been since it was approved in the states.  
 
About 6 weeks ago I started having medium to severe back pain in the mussels 
that are next to my shoulder blades toward the center of my back. I haven't 
done any heavy lifting or such it doesn't seem to want to go away. Has any one 
experienced any problems like this and what was done to get rid of it. 
desperately seeking ideas to help stop it? 
 
Thanks for any ideas and 18s to you all!  Jim

Hi, I have never been on Gleevec or any other TKI's. I had a bone marrow
transplant, and I also get these same kinds of back pain you describe. They
feel like they are in the center of my back in the middle of my rib cage
like someone was pushing down on my shoulders. When I lay down they seem to
get better for a while. When these pains are very bad I put a heating pad
on my back and just lie down.

Hope you find some relief soon

18's

2013-05-05 Thread C.M. Houtz
Hi Jim.I've had Arthritis for years, but mostly in my legs.  Since treating 
the CML I've gone from walking to a wheel chair most of the time.  I can still 
manage with a walker at times, but not for long.  I was on Gleevec for years, 
but after taking 800 mg. a day towards the end, I was moved to Tasigna, which 
after about 3 years put me into remission.  I developed Polymiagia during this 
time which is a type of Arthritis and really hurts my arms, neck, etc.  I also 
have one place on the left side of my back about midway that causes so much 
pain that nothing helps.  I've tried heat, and other things, but there isn't 
much that will take it away.  It even wakes me up during the night.  No one can 
tell me why it's just in that area.  You might want to get a sed rate done to 
see if you have Polymiagia.  That's how my Oncologist found it in me.  The down 
side is that they treat it with Prednisone.  I was on 10 mg. of that, but they 
have cut me down to 71/2 mg. and  I can feel the difference.  I can not raise 
my arms without a lot of pain, especially in the left side.  Thank God I'm 
right handed.  I'm not saying that the meds caused all of this, but think it 
has made my Arthritis much worse.  I do use a Lidoderm 12 hour pain patch when 
the pain gets really bad, but mostly on my left back problem.  I'm not sure 
I've helped at all, but my muscle and bone pain has increased so much in the 
past few years on these drugs.  I know that my Oncologist checks me for it 
every time I see him, so think it is associated with the drugs we have to take. 
 I know that he didn't want me on Sprycel because of this.  Talk to your doctor 
and perhaps he can get to the bottom of it.  Hope that your pain goes away so 
that you don't have to deal with another thing.18's to you and many hugs, 
Millie

  I do have osteoarthritis but all my brothers and sisters have it so can't 
blame CML or Gleevec.  This spring has been has been terrible with all the 
cold, damp, and severe weather swings. I do take OTC medicine and to much 
Aleve.
