im essential thrombocythaemia jak2+

have been on hydrea tablets and asprin for 3 months now my only problem is I've started getting really painful knee joints (I do have osteoarthritis in one knee) and ankle joint and found painful to walk don't know if it's symptoms of et or medication gets me down 

  • I'm sorry about the knee and ankle pain you've been experiencing Bar2. It sounds very painful.

    As you're not sure what's causing this and it's making it difficult for you to get around, it may be worth getting in touch with your GP so do try and book an appointment with them when you can.

    Hopefully some of our members who may have experiencing this will share their advice and experiences with you soon but our cancer nurses are also available for a chat on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
