Autologous stem cell transplant

Hi Alex.. I have always had pain in my legs because of lower back pain caused by a break in my LV3. After the transplant my legs do hurt but it is because of constant movement including driving as I have two small kids and I have to go about my work. The pain is not severe and I do not need any medication for it. It goes away with rest.

Maybe your legs are very weak right now. You should try and rest more maybe.

Regards

hi Janet…i did have a pulm embolus but am now taking xarelto to prevent clots…

Yes. Watch your lab work as Revlimid may cause a drop in blood work such as WBC’s, platelets and RBC’s. Cramping of the extremities, ribs are also a side effect. Check, Celgene Pharmaceutical web site for further information.
