Are you experiencing pain and burning in your feet while on hydroxyurea?
While your doctors have ruled out hydroxyurea as the cause, it's worth noting that MPNs themselves can cause various types of pain throughout the body. Joint pain and bone pain are commonly reported symptoms, especially in people with myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera.
Some members of myMPNteam have shared concerns about unusual pain and discomfort. The pain from MPNs can occur due to:
* Inflammation in the tissue surrounding bones
* Overproduction of new cells in the bone marrow
* Buildup of uric acid in joints (which can lead to gout)
* Thickened blood affecting circulation
Since your doctors have ruled out hydroxyurea, it's important to continue working with them to identify the underlying cause. The burning sensation in your feet could be related to circulation issues from thickened blood, nerve-related symptoms, or other MPN-related complications.
Keep tracking when the pain occurs and what makes it better or worse. This information can help your medical team determine the best approach to manage your symptoms.
