A member asked:
4 weeks into chemotherapy for all leukemia, have insane knee pains in bed. any advise please?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See details: Speak with your oncologist. Without knowing the specific chemotherapeutic agents used, it is difficult to know whether the knee pain is related to the drugs or the disease.

Likely from chemo: A lot of regimens for ALL include steroids in the first few weeks. Steroids can cause this kind of pain after you stop taking them. If your doctor gave you vincristine, which is commonly used in ALL also, that can cause peripheral neuropathy. Speak to your doctor.
