What kind of pain is leukemia joint pain?

Patient's question:

I have had leukemia since I was a child. Because I am different from normal people, I have always been discriminated against based on gender. Recently, for some unknown reason, my leg joints have also started to hurt. I want to know what causes the pain in the leg joints, what kind of pain leukemia joint pain is, whether it is related to leukemia, and whether it can be treated.

Doctor's answer:

You need to consider whether you have advanced leukemia, as advanced leukemia can cause bone pain to reappear, indicating that tumor cells have invaded the bone marrow. This pain is usually severe and persistent, requiring pain medication to control it. Sometimes, it may also manifest as chest bone tenderness. Currently, it cannot be confirmed that your condition is due to tumor cell bone marrow spread, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.
