My 24 year old daughter has begun her 5th year in remission for AML.  She has a very good prognosis.  She had 13 bone marrows and one spinal tap during the course of her treatment.  She has had severe back pain for the last several years.  She completed 2 rounds of physical therapy.  She saw a pain management docotor who just wanted to put her on more meds instead of finding a solution to the problem.  This has caused great difficulty with her moving forward with a job search.  She cant stand for long periods of time.  As a parent, it is just hard t know what to do...how much to push.  Have you ever heard of this problem before?  Thanks!
For symptomatic relief, sometimes pain medicines may be necessary. You must consult your doctor who treated for AML to suggest as spine pain is often seen in AML patients and with his experience he may point to the real cause, if possible. Second help can be from orthopedic surgeon who may have radiological investigations after testing spine for physical signs and if thinks could be due to spinal pathology primarily, then suggest for remedy.
