Update to my post about severe joint, muscle and bone pain

I wanted to update my post about severe joint, muscle and bone pain shortly after finishing last dose of obinutuzumab.

I ended up at emergency a few days ago because of the joint and bone pain and weakness in the muscles of my legs such that I could not stand up without assistance. My hands were also swollen and clenched to the point they couldn't be opened. After being admitted and having tests, my oncologist concluded the symptoms are uncommon side effects to obinutuzumab. I'm going to take it as a sign that it is working well and I'm actually relieved that it's not some other ailment to deal with.
