Knee replacement with CLL?

[tthomp436]

Any Cll'ers have knee replacement? Particularly anyone being treated with Imbruvica? I finally healed almost completely with no pain, only some stiffness, to have the pain return? I know imbruvica can cause joint pain but wondering if it can effect artificial knees?

Be sure to discuss this with your doctor! I don't know about Imbruvica affecting the area around a new knee, but do have a friend who developed pain due to an infection around her new joint.

Thanks. I have dealt with a pretty severe staph infection after my replacement and now have to be on oral antibiotics for life.

I had both knees replaced 17 years ago(72 now). I'm on a clinical trial with both Imbruvica and Venentaclax ( 8 months so far) and never had any issues with my knees or hip( right was replaced 12 years ago) .

Hope that helps.
