Should I Be Concerned Of Sore, Stiff And Painful Knee Cap?
I had a knee replacement 12/2012 and developed non hodkins lymphoma in May 2013. I have had 6 chemo treatments. My knee has become sore, stiff and painful above the knee cap. Are these items for concern or should go away after completion of chemo and stem cell transplant?

hi
i am sorry to hear about prolonged illness
i guess bad news keep on coming in a bundle when they start coming
almost like long phases of bad news intersprersed by short breaks of good news
they may go away with the completion of chemotherapy
however it may be a good idea to get the xrays of the affected joints again
that way we can be more sure as to what exactly is going on in that joint
hope that helps and answers your query
best of luck
