Now the left ankle is double March 27, 2016 was diagnosed with APL Leukemia. I spent 3 weeks in the hospital, with chemotherapy in IV and pillform Then chemo for 4 weeks followed with 4 weeks off IV chemo but had to take 10 chemo pills a day. I developed neuropathy in both feet toes. And the left ankle got worse. Then they took me off IV Chemo for 9 weeks and the neurophy went away. Then after going thru chemo off n on from March 27,16 to Dec.24, 2016, I was getting better slowly, but things have stopped and gone backwards. Both knees hurt badly. Wearing knee braces, taking tramadole 2 50 ml 3 to 4 xs a day, still pain. Icing knees and ankle. NO RELIEF. Had left knee done in 2013.
